So back in August (yes I'm slow as ever!); a non-explorer friend and myself visited The Springs in Wallingford, which at the time was a bit of a local tourist trap; but it was an afternoon out! It had really dawned on me at this point which way this hobby is going these days.  No word of a lie...

The Explore So the day started at 2.30am with a plan to hit Haslar nice and early.. soon as we arrived we were spotted by lots of secca and the game was up before it even started sadly.. with our first explore failing miserably we started on some backups with Carmel being one of them. Really...

Opened in 1959 and closed in 1991, it's an absolutely fantastic ROC post, with many original features intact. It was quite the cold evening and my second outing with a DSLR which i thoroughly enjoyed, here are a few pictures from my visit. The hatch and all the surface features remain intact...

DLO Caversfield was once the communal side of RAF Bicester - after it ceased functions as an RAF base the buildings were taken over by the Defence Logistics Organisation for development and testing of army clothing and other items worn by soldiers. I'd known it had recently been closed down but...

Finally I get to post this report! My PC was down so photo editing was impossible... I wrote this one off as it was a derp for many years, but a non forum member, and Mookster wenrt to explore this. It turned out to be a good explore as it had been opened.. Quoted from PCWOX and slightly...

2013: I believe some of this is still there. 2010: Visited with True British Metal and his mate. Closed in 1986, this site located in Rural Oxfordshire used to be an industrial mecca! Producing Cement from 1928 till 1986, it was operated by the Oxford and Shipton Cement Company, until Alpha...

2013:I believe they are in the process of demo now. 2010: Ok, so we all know about this place and its been done to death! But here is a selection of my eventful day last week! Originally opened as an RAF base in 1918, Heyford was passed on to the USAF, where it became a kind of “Mini...

2013: As far as I'm aware nothing has changed here, and this nice, half hour explore is still here. 2009: There is not much information online about this building, but its awesome! Its believed to be owned by The Beechwood Estates. It has two large halls, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two...

After a trip down south to the extremely busy Harlequin Manor we ended up at this old girl. This was my second visit and it still holds a strange fascination for me. The building is stunning, the colours and shapes here are second to none. For a building that is basically empty it is...
