So nothing really worthy of a full report on it's own, but maybe enough so other people might want to go check out some of these places.

I'll Start with Bodmin BT Radio, originally a Marconi station. This would be worth a full report but I'm waiting to go back in nicer weather and get some new pics. A worthwhile Site if you're in the area.

Ottermill Switchgear - Ottery St Mary. Heard someone scream for help when we dropped in. Searched the place and found no one, kinda disconcerting!

A few of Wall Park Holiday Village Brixham. For those that like their derp's extra derpy.

An old farmhouse and cottage on the outskirts of Paignton. Possibly featured in an old report on the forum (Hollys House). Odd place, worth a look if you're in the Bay area.

Paignton Water Park. Not so derelict, but not in use during the winter.... As it was shot on the phone the images from the top of the slide are completely useless :(

Tally Ho Cornwall. I'm sure that's what it said on the sign.....

So sorry for the terrible images, only a couple were not shot on a phone. I have a few more places I might add to this post when I get around to it. Hope someone finds it useful.

Found some more!

Highposts House, near the old Hemerdon ball mine.

brilliant stuff! Used to drive past the first place all the time and always wanted to check it out, usualy no time though and I'm not local, looks very secure (as you wizz past on the A30)
 
Did you get a look in the bunker on the airfield? There were a few bits an pieces in there the last time I nosed around here, it seems to have gone downhill since then, Nicely Done, Thanks
