To be honest I wasn't happy about the reason why it was made public, the owner is only wanting to warn people, especially if people have been nicking from there and selling stuff on ebay.

But now it's all over the other forum, I might as well throw mine up.

The owner isn't warning people though he has basically said people are banned from the site. By acting like a prat he has taken a site that has been kept out of the public domain on the whole to now being more accessible to find than your local wetherspoons.

Yes, he's acting like a prat by asking people to stop trespassing on his land. Something which is an entirely reasonable request from his point of view. Trespass is not a right and landowners are not 'the enemy'.

I'm sure calling him a prat on a public forum is going to help matters too.

Those pics are amazing, i so need to invest in a decent camera. thanks for sharing mate

Well he has come across as a prat, making threats he knows he can not follow through, the most laughable being detained by security.....yeah right. Your right he has more than the right to ask people not tresspass and had he of contacted the right people like the admin of the forums and explained his predicament his request may have been taken more seriously and more people would have probably been willing to help him.
Now though by making claims that you will be arrested etc and taring everyone with the same brush all he has done open the site up to more people, the site has gone from known by a few to now known by everyone and their dog..............

This is exactly my view point, some of the attitude towards land owners by explorers could be better left at the door than thrown around. This particular owner was fully aware of people visiting the site for so long and did nothing to prevent us, even offering to show people around himself, but now he is asking people to stay away due to what seems like thefts from the land.

If it was my land I would have done the same.

Obviously people can still go down there to explore it, there is just a bigger risk of getting caught than before because of a couple of peoples previous actions (like what usually happens).

I agree to a point, landowners should be respected and if they have asked for people to stay away for what ever reason it should be respected. My comment about being a prat is the fact he has made the site public himself by posting on a public forum about a site that has been on the whole kept out of the public eye, he drew attention to the site himself. He should have got in touch with admins and asked what they could do to try and prevent access.

Either way people will still go to sites where they have been asked not to go, its part of exploring. How many sites have keep out notices that are ignored?? Surely it isn't that different as the landowner has put those signs up asking you to stay out.

Edit: Clearly I didn't understand the full situation. Deleted my post as it's no longer relevant.

Yes it's probably not the best idea drawing attention to a site you want people to keep away from...

Bottom line is, the land owner acted like a total twat going totally against what the 'behinds the scenes' discussion with him was achieving.. (ie. his site being protected..) If he wants us to work with him then he shouldn't start threatening us..

Couldn't care less if the pikeys get all his copper now!

or rooks nicks the lampshades

It saddens me that the site itself has to suffer because of some feud between people who like to trespass in their spare time and a landowner. Ultimately that's the bottom line.

lol, I don't think there were any lampshades down there tbh, there were a few railway sleepers though!

Theres fuck all down there to steal other then copper, that's the bit i don't really understand..

Its not a feud (MD is the one with the feud by the look of it! ), its just a guy shooting himself in the foot.. At least with it in the open everyone can go enjoy the place..

looks awesome, reminds me so much of Metro 2033

Mark was good enought to turn a blind eye to people visiting as long as nothing got damaged, even when the stuff was taken and there is no way it would be an explorer he was good enought to let explorers visit the place

It seams that once he got help in locating stuff that may of been pinched he just turned on everyone, I didn't see it as warning of do not come there as u will get in trouble, he wasn't doing it as a friend it was more of a threat,

It's a shame though the site will get trashed now and like what's been said by others by being an arse he has draw more attention to the place including other stuff in the area
