Default Urban Exploration Photographers needed

Hi All,
I'm trying to organise a photo outing, where people dont mind a bit of walking about.....possibly a bit of running too if you know what i mean ?

please pm me if you are up for a bit of adventure and can climb the odd fence

All sounds a bit purvy to me..............

I assume this means shooting birds with big t**s and doing a runner before there boyfriends can catch you.......... no?.... just me then.....

yes mate, i've been following urbex stuff for about 5 years now, but never really thought it was for me, but curiosity is really getting the better of me right now, especially after seeing more pics like these:-







ps: Matt, how about walking "fast" ??? need you in on this mate

there is a host of sites around essex (i'm compiling a list with OS Grid refs)

come on... will be a giggle and a history lesson in one !!

Given the nature of this kind of photography I won't be able to join you but good luck everyone I've seen the 28dayslater site and some of the photo's are incredible.

I'm happy to offer any advice though.

Chris, it doesn't have to be trespassing, there are a few places where permission can be obtained (land owners, redevelopers, etc...) just needs the right approach and careful words. then when they eventually say no, the torches and ropes come out !! hahhahaa

I love a bit of urban exploring, been to some great places over the years (legally, work involvement).

Tom, Is that middle one near Blackfriars Bridge?

Looks like the same view when I look out the window from the building I work in.
