Legs and Borders

Big credit goes to Subversive for helping me out with location, he pointed though a bit further down the road so had a bit of e xploring before finding it, never mind :) The place turned out to be quite a chilled explore, and the weather was... great. History: In the 1980s, the Copyhold site was sending loose earths and packaged cat litter around the world. By 1995, however, due to falling profits it was announced that the company would close 10% of its 100 plants. Copyhold fell victim the following year and the Laporte Group ceased fuller's earth production altogether in 1997. Visited solo in 2011, and as you can see i was romancing with heavy hdr's then, heh.

Fast trip to the Polish capital to meet r2s and do some exploring. Gasworks Two red brick rotundas has been built in the years 1886-1888. They served as reservoirs of gas produced in the Warsaw Gasworks. It housed metal gas tanks, but they were destroyed in the 70s. They used to fit one thousand cubic meters of gas. During the war, artillery shell hit the tanks, but without explosion, gas lit to form huge flame. After the destruction in 1939, Gasworks was rebuilt and opened in 1945. Gas production terminated in 1978. From that moment the tanks stay empty. Fast but well worth the hassle explore, ancient Rome revisited. Ursus Factory Factory producing tractors, built between 1924-1928, in Czechowice (now a district of Ursus). In the 70s Ursus employed 30 000 people and plants produced 50 000 tractors per year. The plant began to decline in the late 90s. Unfortunately not much left from the former glory (even exploration wise) most of the items are g...

Done this location during the summer with r2s, lu of sesyjni mordercy crew and our friend Sebastian. Nice location, we did expect a little bit more though, plant is partially demolished, the rest is stripped out and heavily used by paintball enthusiasts. history: the plant was founded in 1912 initially as the artificial silk factory. It was the largest producer of synthetic fibers in the country. During the German occupation it was used for testing internal combustion engines, in 1946 original activity was resumed. In it's heyday company employed almost 10 thousand persons. As the factory was producing and releasing to the atmosphere extensive amounts of toxic gases, it was decommissioned in the late 90s.

Done with r2s during this summer, entrance was kind of funny as the site is still partially live, so we have been crouching behind random objects to avoid the workers and security, eventually got in and discovered that the ground floor is still being used as a storage for thousands of glass jars, after this few skips it all went fine. First opened in 1897, this factory was producing the glass for windows, closed in 2001.
