Well, flavour of the month etc, but it had to be done and it was a good way to keep up the exploring. Graylingwell has always been that place that has been 'there' but not really seen, only a few very dedicated bastards have made it in over the last few years. Climbing was the only way. But now, even with conversion slowly moving through the site, it still stumps people. PIRs have sprung up, and a few cameras - I can vouch for the PIRs being live, as we stumbled into one a few months back, only to watch security take a look round a short while after.
The site itself is in an odd condition for somewhere that has sat half disused for nearly a decade. One side was converted to hospitals, and is seemingly being looked at by the contractors. The other side was shut and left to sit, and is in fairly good condition. The kitchens are fucked, the hall has seen better days. I would comment on the laundry, but some cunt ripped through it and left a pile of rubble. So far, they have only done that, and started on the admin block.
This was my third trip down, and first time in. Excuse the amount of photos, but I haven't been in an asylum in ages (most people think this is a good thing..)
A return trip is needed, we spent a good 6-7 hours there and didn't scratch the surface (mainly because we were scurrying around underneath it, hiding from voices/security/explorers).

And the kitchen fucking minged of pigeons
