Wasn't going to post about this as our member 'baal' did some better shots earlier in the year, but was asked to start some reports, so hear goes my first report... As baal said, no info could be found about the property, but it was big enough inside to have been split into two sections. I think we made our way to the house, from what could have been the hardest route possible! Through a forest around the back and then dense thick brambles. It would have been a lot easier to jump over a wall from the school the other side, but the time we went was during school hours. Anyway here's a selection of the photo's.

Some strange table up the attic...
 
That's a decent first post, hopefully there'll be more to follow, Great photos. :)

Thanks dauntless! I should have said I'm no photographer, just have a fancy phone camera. Never fancied photography, but the more I UrbEx, the more I'm thinking about getting a half tidy camera...
 
The quality of photographs you've shown here and you are using a phone! I think its time that you should upgrade to a decent camera. Thunder book I read that when I was younger, it was full of adventure type of stories.

Thanks Hugh! I don't remember Thunder myself, I was born 4 years after that annual. Seems fitting to find it though, while I guess I was adventuring hah!
 
for a phone youve done well, appreciate you posting this up an capturing that dr who annual my father has a nice collection of them, so brought back a few memories cheers! :)
 
Not heard of this one till your pics or Windy Ridge. Will have to get there and have a look.

Speaking as somebody who used photography as part of their everyday 'tool kit', there is nothing at all lacking in your photographs and I question the need for you to change equipment. Of course one has more choices of lens focal length, filters, iso range etc with a 'half tidy camera' - but does one need it for UrbEx? Looking at this report answer is obvious, you do not! From my point of view; not having to lug the equipment case around - just using a nice compact piece of kit that is always in your top pocket would have been a godsend. Whatever you do keep up your amazing work, looking forward to seeing more.

Forgot to add - That metal table is a stand for an industrial sewing machine or similar I think.

Ahh really appreciate that awesome feedback! I have recently bought myself a bridge camera Nikon L340 I believe.
Ahh the table is for a sewing machine , I see cheers.
