As there recently seems to have been quite a few old explores posted, I thought I'd add this, mainly as I think I'm the only person ever to do this (besides hundreds of contestants on The Krypton Factor!)

I've stuck the report in military because it's on a live military site.

God this bring back memories, of Monday night TV.....:)

Nice little explore Gibbo, although it would seem there isnt a massive amount to see?

Nice pics tho, wot camera you using now? or where these taken on the S5600 I bought from you? :mrgreen:
 
Wow!, i remember that. Like sheep says brings back memories. Thanks for that!
 
Looks like a cool explore, did you have a go on it Gibbo? lol. Still looks great, and yes, i'm one of the oldies who used to remember watching the Krypton Factor. Loved it.

Cheers, brought back memories for me too.

Never saw the programme myself but sort of get the drift. :mrgreen:
I do like that, Gibbo, as there's something quite strangely forlorn about it, stuck in the countryside like that. :)
 
being a live MOD site I never had the urge to check it out, though I do know where it is, I personally didnt see the interest, but now i am wishing i had checked it out, nice pics :mrgreen:
 
Ha ha, how nostalgic!:) Did you know it was the Krypton Factor one before you went? Or was it a "I recognise this" moment? Remember the fight simulator, and the shapes puzzles!
 
Is this the one at Holcombe Moor...Nice pics I'd forgotten what it looked like. It's been a long time but I did it a few times when I was in the TA.
 
Ha ha, how nostalgic!:) Did you know it was the Krypton Factor one before you went?

Yeah! I was bored over the Xmas hols and watching a repeat on Challenge TV. During the end credits it mentioned the MOD camp name and I thought "I know where that is!", so I jumped in the car with my camera and an OS map.
 
I watched the Krypton Factor avidly 1965-93, until they kept messing around with the format too much & ended up turning into a highbrow Crystal Maze.

The rounds were

Mental Agility: Very hard, I still remember The Chalice "The Alchamist's The Scales" "The Scribe's The Pen" etc..

Response: Mainly Flight Simulator, but earlier it was a bizzare mini assault course / logic puzzle.

Observation: Tell the difference / Continuity errors etc. Some of Steve Coogan's pre-Alan Partridge material.

Phyical Ability: The assault course, with some strange wooden obsticals in the later years.

Logic: A puzzle normally involving pentominos(sp?), edit for time because some contestants took hours to do them.

General Knowledge: Strange talking heads view of contestants, (nothing to do with David Byrne & Alan Bennett though), the answer from one question often linked to the next question.
 
Surprisingly fast, but when you're on a live site it does give you the incentive to move quickly!

:lol: I'll bet :lol: -no doubt the odd stray round would further improve your personal best?!! :mrgreen:

Great report and pics. Brought the memories back for me too -cheers :)
