Took a treck over to the valleys for an awesome day out and just a hint of exploring.
We headed to Talgarth after a smooth journey and, after a really amusing exchange with a local and expressing intense interest in the local 'nature trail', she randomly began volunteering loads of info about our actual target. In the spirit of all things good, we dubbed her Evellyn, took her advice and set about exploring this awesome place.
There's quite a bit of history on the place here:

We didn't manages to get round near the boiler room as we heard some 'slate thieves' operating above. Essentially, some dude was on the roof levering tiles off with a crowbar and lobbing them down to his less than impressed girlfriend. Amusing on certain levels but bloody enraging overall.
A brilliant explore and day out with Flame (energy drinks and subway fest).
HDR and normal shots here. I know some people slate HDR, but it's still art as far as I'm concerned, so leave me alone you bullies.
External shot of admin:
Doll. Head sold separately:
The place has some great corridors. I fell in love with this one:
Tiny rooms were dotted everywhere around the hospital:
Painting left on a corridor floor:
Another tiny room, just off what seemed to be a communal bedroom:
More small room shenanigans. The light in here was awesome:
Ward office enttrance:
Slightly larger room:
One of the few peaceful images we found in the place:
Peely paint, staircase mania:
Ballroom, kind of felt like a fun size Hellingly:
Be warned fools:
Staircase:
External of one of the wards:
A great explore and highly recommended. There are things going on at the site so if you do fancy it, I'd recommend checking it out ASAP. Happy to respond to PMs for any further info
Cheers for your interest as always!
