Over the past year I’ve done things I never thought I’d do, I’ve pushed what I thought was possible, I spent time in the watch house, I’ve climbed national monuments and run through more train tunnels than I care to remember. I’ve risked everything for nothing and I loved every minute of it. Continue reading »
Urbex tourism above the city of lights. AXA, Jussieu, St Sulpice, appartments, GAN, Grand Palais, St Laurent and more… Continue reading »
I’m that filthy guy in the metro people look at with mild contempt. Never mind, I know it’s hard to understand why I’m covered in grime. It’s not because I’m clinging to the bottom of the social ladder, I’m that way because I don’t just wonder what is down those dark tunnels… I find out for myself. Continue reading »

St Martin, the most interesting of several phantom metro stations in Paris, two levels, four platforms, active lines and rarely seen relics of a forgotten time in the Paris metro’s history. Continue reading »
Battersea Power Station; no doubt it is an icon of the London skyline, it is pretty impressive from the banks of the Thames but standing inside is something else. This place is massive. Even though it is now a shell and a shadow of its former self, Battersea is still a really impressive building. And for those who think laterally, this place contains a few surprises.

Ten Meters in diameter, red brick lined, 100 years old and a mission I’ll never forget, the Rankine Hydro Electric Power Station, Niagara. Continue reading »
Ashio: Japan’s largest copper producer for over 100 years, a forced labor camp for allied POWs during WW2 and the source of Japans worst ever industrial pollution incident and now an UrbEx wonderland. Power stations, refineries, houses, shops, mines and more, an entire mining town abandoned to the elements and those keen enough to visit. Continue reading »
Carved deep into the cliffs of some the most rugged country in Australia, access to this abandoned hydro power station is not a trivial exercise.
