Love this place although been twice now and still no luck.

Nice to see some different shots, especially the walkway :)

Is it still 'doable' ?

I was there VERY recently and was "Escorted" (Running like fuck) from Alsatians. To answer your question, everything's doable if you're ninja about it. Once you're in, the hardest part's out of the way mate.

I'm not giving up on St Johns just yet...

Running like fuck is something I haven't done for years, more of a slow hobble but I have been known to scale a few walls and fences in recent months (I still have the scars and holes torn in my jeans) so my ninja days aren't quite over yet :) Cheers for the info :)

I live about 4 mins from here, the front part of the main entrance of the asylum is all jazzed up now into a marketing suite or something but there is a large part still derelict. It'll be pretty stripped by now but i've often thought about having a look around just to see. Security is on site with large alsatians. I went to investigate months ago when i heard secca had started here and had read on 28 that they were being heavy handed with some teenage explorers. One of them asked me to move my car away from a public road at the front and I politely but swiftly re-educated the rude little C-bomb of his rights and that of mine. He took my number plate, i got out of the car and took some externals. Two hours later the civvy cops were at my door and i spent the next two hours down the station explaining why i was there?!!! The Cop actually turned out to be sound and we ended up talking about cameras, but he interestingly did mention that the developers had successfully applied to the courts for some kind of "media block" on the site which prohibited pictures from the inside from being published until after the development had finished?! Not sure what to think of that to be honest. I've often thought about having a snoop inside, just to prove it can still be done despite the doggies, i might take some steaks :D
