I've been doing a bit of work tidying up this site, as all but the diary had long been neglected. I've completely changed the photos section - have a look at it if you like.
While uploading some pictures of St Peter's Seminary, a modern ruin not far from Glasgow, I stumbled across a set of pictures of it on flickr shortly after it opened in the mid 1960s. So for comparison to how we found it in 2005, here are a few similar angles.

If you do plan a return trip let me know; I'd love to come. It's extraordinary to me that such a modern building has been allowed to fall into ruin like that.

Yeah, there was something a bit creepier about it than simple empty train tunnels and stations. By far the most interesting thing too though, and probably the only one I'd go out of my way to go back to.

So that's how it's supposed to look!
Out of all the exploration we did back the then I think that was the eeriest... I still remember the red spray painted "Welcome to hell" on the road in.
