Legs and Borders

One thing i can say for sure is that one week in Nepal is close to nothing. To take a trek up Everest base camp, you need about three weeks i had two weeks in total including Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan in North India - so this is where my calculations went wrong :) Never mind, Kathmandu was a must, swarming with backpackers and scammers wasn't as pleasant and laid back as i expected, but still well worth a 12 hour drive on the rocky hole filled road (my backpack somehow failed, and got damaged on the way) from the Indian boarder. Second stop turned out to be Chitwan National Park, spend with a Middle East couple promising to have special accommodation , and it was! After leaving the tourist areas on a tiny horse carriage, we went through a series of villages and eventually stopped in one of them: Darampur. Greeted by Zumbaba, a local teacher, philosopher, businessmen, tour guide and above it all a keen pot-smoker :) That's how we spent a pleasant few days, walking among t...

And now for something completely different.. Pre-wedding session of Iain and Sam. Lovely couple, best luck guys.

It turned out to be pretty pleasant and eventful mooch, firstly we got spotted by the security guard, so had to go back, and look for an alternative access point, which lead us all around the quarry.. rather long walk, but the weather was enjoyable, proof, a rurex crew shot :) Eventually we approached the factory from the side the guard couldn't see us and entered the site. history:  The present buildings were erected in 1949 with production ceasing in 1991. The quarry actually dates back to 1851 and cement was manufactured on the site since at least 1898. A tunnel under the road separates the distribution plant and administrative blocks (west) and the industrial site and chalk quarry (east). Clay was obtained from pits a short distance up the River Adur and coal was brought in by rail. The cement was fired in two enormous 350ft kilns. The works is considered a fine example of the technology of the post war period and is still largely intact. Finally, ...

After rather funny encounter starring Tarick and his mates at the nearby location, we decided to go here. visited with: Keïteï , Subversive , Medwayboy and Me.Two history: Prior to Bellerby's taking over this school in about 1995 it was known as Mayfield College. Mayfield was founded by the Duchess of Leeds as an Orphanage. In 1868 a Roman Catholic Order of Religous Brothers, known as the Xaverians Brothers, moved from Hastings to run Mayfield College as an independent boys boarding school. The school continued to flourish under the direction of the Brothers until 1977 when, due to a shortage of vocations into the Brothers, the school was taken over by the Mayfield College Educational Trust. It retained strong links with the Brothers several of whom still lived and taught at the College. However in about 1995 the Trust felt unable to continue the administration of the school and it was sold to Bellerby's of Wadhurst, they changed the name of the school to Bellerby Col...

Two very well known urban exploration sites and the two, which got hit hard by the raising popularity of UE.. since the location of both sites was relatively easy to track on internet, this places has been visited by all sorts of people, effect being: smashed windows, floors and doors ripped apart or burned, mindless graffiti on the walls, everything of any value taken away or destroyed.. Since then many explorers started an argument if exact locations of the places should be shared online, and if so, should this be done on public parts of the forums.. I wasn't trying to document damage which occurred over the last year or so, but still tried to find the nice features, for a bit of comparison you can have a look at my Lillesden School report from 15 months ago as there are some almost exact shots on both, heh. Regards. 2wid. Potters Manor Potters Manor House was built in 1904. The last inhabitants were a family of artisans and potters and for some reason, that we...
