Since it was a public holiday and we were both free, we took this opportunity to hit the road and spend the day doing what we do best. There had been a Halfway House in town we'd been eyeing up for 8+ months and by now it had become pretty derro. Large 2 storey concrete building, with no way in, boarded up and high fences with razor wire around. I love these places it just means its more of a challenge to get in. We came by before New Years to check on it, maybe someone might have smashed a window or pulled down a board, nope! So when we arrived we knew we where going to be doing the hard work. So we had to find our own way in, between nails on top of a gate and glass, I'd say I'm getting to good at this ;) Sadly once inside this halfway house shared a similar aroma to that of a piggery. So we made a sweet escape!
I've come to the conclusion with abandoned houses they will either be an old family home or old Mans house who hoards, terribly hoards then we photograph it. We spotted a few houses and these are cool fun to explore, theres always neat junk to look through, especially old stuff perhaps some you might want to take home and some you'll appreciate from a distance, (like magazine collections and the kitchen cupboard contents) while they could be good to read all those National geographic mags owning that many is over the top.
We checked out this clubroom that had been caught on fire (reminded me of a freemasons) full of junk and timber and sorts. Looks like it's just used for storage now. Just when we thought we wouldn't be getting into this one I managed to climb in through one of the windows behind a tree at the front, I thought I was clever it was the second location I had got us into for the day usually I just stand there and look pretty. As we where leaving I got a telling off for being to loud from Bradd lol it just shows you do learn a skill or 2 from ole urbex.
And then theres the odd time when you find something, different and fun. And it was just towards the end of the day when I was becoming grumpy and was hungry, wanted to turn right, Bradd said go left and we find this old looking wrecking yard, photos below :D
