Urban Explorers - Tumblr Posts

I have a riverbed behind my house that me and a friend hang out in, it winds through properties, and under the railway onto council land. I'm not sure if it's completely legal since it borders the fence to the mines, but no one's caught us yet.

It's so sad that there are very few places anyone can go that provide that perfect secret little hideaway somewhere in th woods. Everything is someones property, public parks that are just grass, or housing developments now. I just want to be able to take a short walk from my house to some (not even that deep) woods and find a cool tree and make it my hang out spot and to walk along the naturally forming paths from other people and animals taking time to actually enjoy nature.

It would be remiss of me, with all the talk of "Woburn" this, and "Waterworks" that, to not post the link to this wonderful documentary! It was made by two urban explorers who go by The Proper People. They've seen a good many abandoned and rusted out hulks, but never a running engine like this!

They do a far better job of presenting the beauty of this engine than I can!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
