Don't know what to say about "where to start". It's not a hobby you just "take up" because it's based on interest; drive by a building that has been empty for years and if you get this feeling in your stomach you know you have the interest.

I agree 110% with that.
Anyway, I think a lot of people here (myself included), after they realized that there's a hobby that can come from this interest, just started with buildings right in their own neighborhood, like old houses. There are probably locations right under your nose in your own town and this also gives you the chance to start somewhere that you're familiar with.

Also there is a UK UE zine called section61 section61.com, in the first issue they posted up a range of UE locations by region, just the names though. I can't remember what Cambridge had, i think it had an asylum (which are always good). I'll check it out and post up the names, you'll have to google them and do the other research yourself though

yep it does!  the cambridgeshire listing was houghton grange, an (extremely) odd cluster of factory buildings a few towns north of cambridge. we didn't make the locations in the mag too specific, else it takes the map fun out of researching.
cambridge doesn't have an asylum, well it did, fulbourn, but it's now converted into a science park. the nearest would be colchester, an hour away by car. a lot of changes lately mind, so it's not as relaxing a site as it used to be. i ought to get around to reloading my embarrassing backlog.. anyway, here:

otherwise yeh, go through simon's list, and his links, and wind your way around the uk websites. that'll get you to the leicester/loughborough nearest places as well.
one thing, you broke back into cambridge university to get your stuff?!! please say no lol!!

| | | | In my opinion, I'd have to say that old houses in remote areas are the best places to start out. Here's why:
1.) There is generally less of a chance of being caught by police and authorities patrolling the area.
2.) Houses, in general, usually tend to be smaller than other large-scale explorations, such as factories, mills, warehouses, malls, etc.
3.) They don't echo as much, thus, if you happen to make some unintentional noise, less attention will be drawn to you.
4.) In my experience, they have been easier to gain entry into; many times, you can just walk right in without a problem.
5.) Again, in my experience, houses have proved to be safer than other places, and usually, there is less chance of being severely injured (fewer extreme heights and drops).
Make sure to bring a friend along, especially if it's your first time!
