The royal mail underground railway isnt used any more they use lorries to move the post as it is cheaper. There were visits arranged for some people just before it shut. There have also been visits arranged for various of the disused bits of the underground in the last couple of years with people who know there way around the system guiding them.

When you go into some of these sites be aware that some are riddled with Asbestos and you will take the fibres home on your clothes to your family if you get it on you so be carefull.

There are lots of safe places to go though so have fun

for a basejumper he had a prophetic username. I'd have had "bounceswell" or "landssoftly".

Basejumping is the sport of nutters, hence its illegality here in the UK.

Sad to hear anyone losing their life, no matter what the sport though
just makes you grateful for stuff.

the most damage i'll ever do is get a papercut, or my jeans torn on some barbed wire !!! (again !! )

some of his shots were awe inspiring. If I even got one shot as good as some of his I'd be well chuffed!

No good asking you or Chris for sunrise tips then.

I do like a nice sunrise.









And don't get me started on rocks.
