Urbex Abseiling - Cannon Brewery

Took another look at Cannon Brewery in Sheffield, but this time I looked at the site from another angle I call it Urbex Abseiling, abseiling from abandoned buildings. Had a lot of fun, glad the weather held off! Hope you enjoy the photos

Looks like a right laugh mate!! Class!

Thats different

I like the concept of photographs inside the building, looking out through the broken windows at some nutter abseiling down.

You Sir, are a mental.
Wicked shots tho! Love the concept of this, I really want to get into it!
Cheers for sharing!

Mr Dan - Unfortunately, this Nutcase is coming with us in May

Heehee ace! Love the one of you hanging off the edge and the inside outside ones are cool. Great fun!!

Looks awesome! Cheers for posting these up!

Haha, great pics! crazy

Ha ha ha! Nice one. Seen some novel ways of conducting exploration on here, but that's a new one on me!

A small word of caution. Don't fly too near the sun Guys! Great stuff. Jim.

I shall look forward to it

Have you use the Edelrid Mega Jul belay device at all? They're self locking, so you can take both hands off the rope halfway down to get some shots. Comes in handy when I taking climbing photos.

Looks like a nice device, but I prefer a Prusik knot and I tie that to my leg, as you can see me tying in Photo 6. The Mega Jul is a bit overpriced compared to the cost of a simple belay and my Prusik knot

Is that place still standing? Can you imagine the looks I'd get

Hahaha! That's awesome! Nice work, gentlemen

bonkers! but great

Mmmm... great fun innit! I did something similar though not from anything like as high - only about 40 feet or so - last May in France on an exploration of a WW1 fort.

I’ve done a fair bit of abseiling and nosing around derelict buildings but the thought of combining them never crossed my mind, I can understand the buzz you must get from it but I think I’ll give it a miss.
Stay Safe.
