Talking of abandoned places I really want to go back and have a gander in one the student nursing accommodations we had. Is was a beautiful mansion built by a philanthropist for use as an orphanage. We were the last cohort to use it finishing in 1997. The govt then got into a row with the locals about using it as a home for paedophiles and its been left to slowly derelict since. Its still covered by hospital security staff but that doesn’t stop it rotting. It turned up on a few ‘abandoned places’ websites a while back, these pics are a good 5-7 years old, dread to think what it looks like now. Such a waste and quite sad if you knew how alive and loved it was.

Not anymore! Heyho, we were lucky enough to catch the tail end of an ideology some employers had that you look after your staff. Similar to the military, accommodation was provided, housekeepers kept the place working and changed the linen and you worked all the unreasonable hours necessary whilst doing precisely what you were told when you were told to do it ?  Why they couldn’t find another use for it I dont really understand.

Went for a ride on Bagheera today.  It was sunny and unseasonably warm already. ?

They had just put down some fresh gravel and the grader was out working, getting the roads ready for the logging trucks.

This all meant the gravel was thick, dry and loose.....super slippery and DUSTY!!!! :littleguy:

I'm working on a short video from the day, but here is an example of the dust...

That's sad. Looks like something English heritage or National trust should be looking at.

I’m surprised it wasnt handed over to them but its probably a bit far gone for their budget now. Just had a look on ‘28 days later’ and its no longer salvageable. Floors have fallen though and its thoroughly rotten. Shame to let a beautiful grade II listed building end up that way.

If anyone likes abandoned places 28 days later has some good ones on there. Is there a 28 days later type of website for Spain?

There are Urbex FB sites for Spain.....but I've never really bothered with them because all that type of stuff is always in the north.

That cant be healthy to breathe. ?

Probably not......but that never seems to stop me.  cough cough....?

But mix the dust with the heavy amount of pollen we had in the air and mouth breathers will be doomed.... ?
