Sept 2011, at 5am, saw myself, sorel and scruffy diamond embark on our first ever urban explore, and what a place to start! Whittingham has been one of may favourite explores to date, and maybe we were spoilt on our first venture. Security was hot, and they were on our tails from the very start. We were never located during our 8 hour explore, which made the whole experience that much more fun. From the get go, we were amazed by the state of the place.

The water tower was sealed and acces from the main building was flooded with swimming rat infested water, so we gave it a miss. A true gem, that we are glad we got to explore before it got demolished. I hope you get some value from this. Enjoy the video walk around below.
