After 4 months of not doing any new urbex, I've finally done my first since an idiotic mistake I made in October last year.
I went today, with luaduck, to Folkestone Harbour station in Kent which closed to regular trains in 2000 and the last train to stop there was the Orient Express in 2009.
I sold my camera to our [url=http://www.facepunch.com/members/160105-B-hazard]resident asbestos obsessive[/url] a little while ago, so the following were taken on my Nexus S.
Looking up the short branch line towards the fully operational main line

It would still technically be possible to run a train down here despite the state of the line.

We saw two other urbexers while we were there, they seemed keen to keep away from us so we let them be.

This rail was once the electric current rail, but it has obviously been disconnected - I trod on it :v:

That's all, luaduck has a DSLR so he will post some undoubtedly better pictures in a while.

bengley did you take the two urbexers to an abandoned building and fuck them
That looks like it was awesome.
Man, there is nothing to urbex where I live. :smith:
Cool photo's either way
wow thanks butler
What was the mistake you made in October last year?
Heh, makes Folkestone actually look slightly pretty...
I never noticed that the viaduct at the harbour could actually look nice.
[QUOTE=The very best;28011458]bengley did you take the two urbexers to an abandoned building and fuck them[/QUOTE]
He also got me arrested last time we did Urbex.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;28011530]He also got me arrested last time we did Urbex.[/QUOTE]
Remind us what happened.
That's pretty awesome. Kind of reminds me of the beginning of Half-life 2, honestly. I'm sure you two have gotten this question many times before, but were you guys ever approached by police or the like for this before?
Awesome.
Oh, never mind. Guess I got my question answered.

Fuuuuuuuck.

Lucky for Bengley he doesn't have parents who stop him from doing Urbex despite getting arrested (hint hint mine won't let me do it again).

I stole a car and drove it on an abandoned airfield
[QUOTE=Bengley;28011632]I stole a car and drove it on an abandoned airfield[/QUOTE]
And I was in the passenger seat, telling him how were probably going to get spotted, and then saw a security land-rover driving towards us.
We tried to get back to our bikes on foot but Bengley kept popping his head over the cars seeing where the security guys were and got caught :v:
You are so stealthy Bengley...
[QUOTE=Bengley;28011632]I stole a car and drove it on an abandoned airfield[/QUOTE]
Pro Tip: Don't do this
did you really have to mention that they were cute?
[QUOTE=slippp22;28011757]did you really have to mention that they were cute?[/QUOTE]
yes
[QUOTE=slippp22;28011757]did you really have to mention that they were cute?[/QUOTE]
How could he not do so?
Bengley your a true badass! :)
I really need to do this some time.
[QUOTE=Bengley;28011632]I stole a car and drove it on an abandoned airfield[/QUOTE]
:golfclap:
I should totally get some friends and do some Urbex around here. My area has tons of cool places like this. My dad used to do it back in 2003. I should go look through his pictures and find some.
I've stayed at that hotel in the background about six times and every time I've looked over to this area and wondered what it'd be like to do paintballing or airsofting there.
This makes me want to do it more :(

Next time you're there take a wander in there, it's not secured at all, it's still used as a walkway to the pier.
Is that so? I'll be sure to do that in future! Have always fancied trying a bit of urbex.

terrible video up

In other news you're a terrible editor and should feel very bad, even though I watched you through it
What is the definition of Urbexing?
from what i've seen the only viable place to urbex near me would be a old busted down, broken into, holes the size of cars in the wall, right in the middle of a busy town, office building, but it would be impossible to get in there because of its location, and the amount of cops near by.
[editline]12th February 2011[/editline]
also you guys are so lucky, I have a thing for rust, where you were, i would be literally rubbing the walls.
[QUOTE=Bengley;28011632]I stole a car and drove it on an abandoned airfield[/QUOTE]
So that's grand theft auto and you're not in jail? How does that work, we steal 3 guitars from an abandoned building while urbexing and we're facing 3 to 5..
