Recently visited Chernobyl with MrDan, LittleOz and some non-members. For those of you who know me you'll know that I've been to Chernobyl before, 12 days in total now! It's a huge place and there's certainly no end for things to see and do, but unfortunately every time I return the buildings look a little more broken and there's definitely a little less 'furniture' to photograph... So, to make this trip different I had to organise a few 'extras' 
I'm not going to mention names, but I have friends in Chernobyl and I do tend to get away with some things that the usual tour groups couldn't... I'm free to wonder around alone, unguided and using only my own sense of direction and of course my Geiger counter. Anyway, on with the photos
I'll start with some of the best. Inside the power plant and in Reactor 2 control room
Climbing Duga - 150+ metre Soviet radar
Me and a non-member on the diving board at the swimming pool in Pripyat
Looking down onto the pool
Me and MrDan climbing the swimming pool in Pripyat
Visiting reactors 5 and 6 was really good and climbing the cranes gave possibly the best view of the power plant and reactor 4. It's completely forbidden to go inside the unfinished reactors, but not for us
A closer look at Reactor 4 from within the grounds of the power plant.
Lastly, I'm working on a challenge to be tied to 111 different UE locations. So, to abseil, jump or climb from abandoned and derelict locations - It would have been rude not to include Chernobyl in this challenge.
