I know this has been done but (sorry) it's my first and so for me was a test case to see if I could add something. As has been mentioned before it's an enormous location that you could easily spend a day looking around. This was my second visit a hot and humid day and although it was fairly dry the wellington boots proved handy still. My first visit was during the British rainy season (September through to May) and the boots were a must. Also beware of ticks and make sure you examine yourself after moving through the plant life. They can transmit some nasty and incurable diseases so be aware.

Small buildings are scattered around the site and building debris is everywhere

Most buildings have some detail that is interesting in one way or another

The major problem is finding them all. Earthworks banked up to serve as blast shields/deflectors and years of plant growth have all done there best to conceal everything (which makes it great to explore as you never know what's coming). One or two buildings are obvious but most aren't.

I had to cut my visit short and so finished up with a few areas I'd missed first time around but I'd say there was still another visit left in it for me.

Overall an interesting site that offers a lot for the explorer in us all.

Fixed your images. In the future you need to make sure that what you paste into the image box replace what's already in there. Thanks for posting. :)
 
You might want to get yourself a Photobucket or Flickr account mate otherwise you'll not get your pics to show. The Help and FAQ section will fix you up :)

I'm going here on a permission visit next year as it happens.

EDIT : Sorry Krela, simultaneous posting lol
 
Thanks for the help & advice. I already have a Flickr account but didn't take the photos from there but will do next time. I could've posted a few more photos but looks like it would've just been more work for you.

Just tried to add an extra photo from my Flickr account but I must be doing something wrong even though I think I've followed each step correctly.
