This was one long day. I can tell it was productive as I have TEN explores with the same file dates of 'April 2023'. I am falling even further behind in my writing.
Let me start with the worst of the bunch and that is ‘Associated Waste Management Ltd’ in Leeds, a cesspit of an explore with little in the way of redeeming value.
We should have known it from the start. It’s a waste management company, so what can you expect to find inside? Fetid filthy water complete with green scum and pokey weeds sticking out?
...or did that 'harmless' green water contain a 'scum monster' and it had eaten all the employees? You have to consider all scenarios.
Let me tell you getting to these shitty weeds was not so easy.
After scouring the perimeter and finding lots of pallaside fencing with no loose bars as well as locks with a few karate blue belts added for further protection, we walked around the other side of this huge building and noticed another derpy building on the other side of the road.
…'are they having babies around this area or something?'…
We found a way in through the rusted metal fencing, and @anidiotexplores duly went in to scout.
I followed and found an almost unnavigable dense mini-forest far side which ended at an empty open window that revealed a whole lot of nothing inside.
Fuck sake, what a pile of shit!
Turning back to 'Associated Waste Management Ltd', and bypassing the nicely collapsed herras fencing (it wasn't us!), it was time to breach that far wall and get inside the grounds.
The heavily rusted door in the corner looked like the ‘weak point’, and was not as bad as it looked, as on this side there were a few handles and footholds. The top however was sharp, and as rusty as the rest of it.
Ooooh.... my balls... AGAIN.
Straddling these is never easy, and you can see from the far side that the chair helped a little on the descent, but still, it was a full body haul on exit, something I do not relish at my age.
They say, if it's a tough entry, then it will be worth it. Lies I tell you, a big load of shit.
Being in a wide open yard should have bothered us, but it became apparent nobody was going to visit, at least while we were there.
For something so large, the inside was incredibly dull. One building contained nothing of interest besides space, so we moved on to what looked like an office.
'No Muddy Boots', fat chance of that NOT happening with all the slime and water we were forced to walk on.
The whiteboard bore evidence of a business and more of someone else who thought it might be a bright idea to climb that rusty ball-shearing metal door.
Speaking of which, the previous set of visitors didn’t resemble explorers, more a set of dickheads.
I crouched close to the water's edge hoping for a special reflective shot and hoped nothing living under there would jump out and bite my nose.
They will come in very handy when it’s time to move all the sticky slime we were forced to walk on.
“This place is shit mate”, and I meant it literally. To get out it was the chair, and I was not relishing the idea.
Within a small portacabin, we spotted a hoard of used spanners, with some sticky red substance on a desk.
There’s no doubt in my mind what happened here. I have been watching Dexter lately and have picked up on advanced blood-spatter techniques.
Someone had been held here forcibly, hand held out and those spanners had repeatedly smashed against the flesh and bone causing irreparable damage, resulting in some blood oozing.
I should go for a job at Miami Metro, I thought secretly congratulating myself.
...'or was it distant memories of Casino that were invading my mind?'...
Exiting the portacabin we realised that was it. The bloody marks on the table were the highlight; bloody wonderful.
We looked inside the other massive and very empty building and contemplated the gap on the far side. Was there anything interesting if one crawled through there?
Was there fuck, in fact, it only went in for several inches and then abruptly stopped.
Groaning, we headed for the chair and some more unwelcome exertion. What a pile of shit this place was.
