I've modified the front page of The System to describe Urbex a little better.

Any feedback is appreciated!

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

Well hopefully something better will come from this. This is fairly amusing to just see and I hope you get something out of it. At least the government there cares. Here's it's "oh well we'll just charge the adult because we are too lazy to deal with 2 different court systems"..oh how I hate it.

Sue Ken for being a twit
Sue Bob for being a pompous twit
Sue NotW for having some twit steal your pics without payment, and having some pompous twit try to stonewall/scare you.

Then you can buy us all ice cream!

The thing that sucks Tz is that they took your site as the target of the "creepers". It's like there's only your site that exist and your site is all responsible for this "new trend".

That's BS!

Idiots...!!!!!!

And range biking and rock climbing and mountaineering and cross country skiing and...

no, wait.. They didn't make ANY mention of those infinitely more dangerous hobbies!

How puzzling, it's like it's totally one sided and skewed!

Maze, as for my site drawing the heat: well, I don't know of any other big, well recognised Scottish UE sites, except maybe Hidden Glasgow: which is more a forum than anything else ??

But yes, they are playing it out like The System was wholly responsible for 'Creeping' - totally wrong, wrong WRONG!!!

I mentioned this to TZ earlier via PM, but I'll share it with everyone else:

Earlier today, I had breakfast with a friend of my grandmother's who just flew in last night from Ireland. Somehwhere after he asked me what my job was, we got onto hobbies, and well I mentioned exploring and he goes...

"Oh, I read something about a Scottish kid who does something like that in a tabloid I got at the airport."

Sent to the Wishaw Press today:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I read with interest your article "Risking injury for craze" published here:

http://iclanarkshi...aze-name_page.html

I am the webmaster (site admin) for the site you link in the article, www.turbozutek.f2s.com I am writing to you just to point out a few things about the article and to help you gain a better understanding of the hobby of Urban Exploration.

While I liked the article and found it to be level and sensible in it's journalistic style, I did find a few errors which I feel I should point out;

1. The term for our Hobby is 'Urban Exploration', not creeping. Urban Exploration is the study and photography of abandoned and hard to access places.

2. UE isn't a new 'craze' as you claim, with the hobby going back to the 1930's in the UK. A book on the subject 'The Country House Snooper' was written by John Harris during the war and released just after.

3. You mention the phrase 'break into' - this is an exceptionally inacurate way to describe our hobby. When you 'break in' somewhere you are a vandal and a criminal. An Urban Explorer will NEVER 'break in' anywhere and access is always via an already open entrance, in compliance with the law.

Breaking in is illegal and gives our hobby a bad name!

As a for instance (and to address the local examples you sited) - Law Hospital has many, many open doors (even more since the Police used the place for riot training!) and HartWood also had several walk-in entrances. The Kilt pub was just left to ruin with every window smashed and hanging open - access to all these locations was no harder than turning up and walking in.

4. Yes, what your Police spokesperson says does indeed make good sense, but place it in context for a moment; How difficult is it to rescue a stuck mountain climber? How much does that cost? Do the police advise against mountain climbing?

No.

How risky is trail biking? How risky is rappelling or hand-gliding?

Do the police have an opinion on these activities?

Further placing our hobby in context: in five years no one I've been involved with in UE has suffered more than scraped knuckles or some bruises as a result of our hobby. UE is NOT an 'extreme sport' and it's only as dangerous as a lack of common sense makes it; but the same can apply to everything in daily life, not just UE.

Aside from all this, I would like to thank you for not stealing photographs from my site and printing them (as the News Of The World decided to) and would invite you to contact me for any further information or assistance I can give with matters relating to UE, if I can be of help in any way.

Yours Sincerely,

(Site Admin www.turbozutek.f2s.com)


Just to point out the wee mistakes they made.

Excellent letter!

If you'd be here, I'd book you news interviews just to correct what has been said and to make them look like the idiots they are.
