After a very early start, our group of 5 people between 2 cars arrived in Dunkirk. Our first priority was to set up a base for the next 5 days and move promptly on to our first site. Visited with Jaff Fox, Havoc, Hydra and Reaperman. We chose 'Cokerie De Anderlues' as it was a large site, not too intense and despite it's horrendous condition, was very photogenic.
Built in 1904, The coking plant was in operation for 98 years and was among the last in Belgium.
From Anderlues we made our way to a familiar site, the SNCB train graveyard. Massive diesel locomotives abandoned in and outside of a crumbling engineering works. Amazingly, since our last visit a few of these massive machines had disappeared - presumably cut up for scrap.
following these 2 low key explores, we headed back to base in anticipation for the next 2 days in Germany. The sleep we got on the first night was much deserved.
