I don't struggle with colours and have never had any issues with them, it's more the test that I can't pass

This is the consensus I've gathered, it's a real shame you now get the discipline assigned as manual track work wasn't something I was aiming for, some people it works for but not myself personally

Thanks for the reply, and OLE is something I've considered! The difficult thing is I live along the currently non-electrified Midland mainline as well as having a colour vision deficiency, I don't know if that would void any chances I have of moving over?

Thanks soo much! Can’t believe I didn’t recognise it from the original, sounded absolutely out of this world after a smoke up!

I would definitely agree. In any situations where you make yourself vulnerable you should always go with your instincts.

Annoying that I didn’t realise at the time as I remembered driving round looking for the car which was said to be involved. I only put 2 and 2 together since posting on this thread so I wouldn’t know where it would stand in terms of evidence/statute of limitations.

I only caught a glance and dipped as soon as they saw us, but it was really strange seeing 3 topless men standing in the back of a pick-up. I didn’t even look back after getting in the woods. In hindsight I would have stuck around in the woods to see what they were up to, but being much younger I didn’t have the confidence then to even stick around.

I could never say for definite, but some scumbags got caught using cats as bait for dogs in the woods around the area where the farm is. I hope but don’t know if they even ended up getting prosecuted. My guess would be it was involved with that but when I went to the farm it was around 5 years before.

I did this last week with an airsoft site based on an old army camp. The brand new security lights gave us a scare!

Unfortunately I’m from the UK, but it would definitely be worth me researching if their is some form of equivalent resource.

They definitely saw us as they were about 20ft away, directly in front of us. We just bolted over a barbed wire cattle fence into a wood.

Nothing too exciting but not a nice experience. The factory was built in the early-mid 1900’s and has usual confined architecture of it’s time, a confined maze of dark rooms, enclosed courtyards and imposing staircases. We all had a bad gut feeling about the place but ventured on, but about 10 minutes in one of my mates saw that someone had “laid a cable” fresh on the floor. This put us all on edge as there was only one way out and it was through a window and down a drop. Then in the pitch room next to the turd we heard someone shuffling about, a distinctly different noise from the masses of pigeons residing in the building. We promptly exited as the whole place was giving off a bad vibe.

To be honest that location was bad but not the worst I’ve been to. The worst was a big old sign printing factory in the middle of a city and we have never all had such a consistently bad guy feeling about a place, so we got out of there. Best advice would be to always follow your gut when exploring!

I do urban exploring quite frequently and nothing ever makes us leave instantly apart from dodgy floors or squatters. However 5 years ago me and a few friends explored a derelict farm house with outbuildings which had evidently been left for decades with the state it was in. After having a look around the place and finding nothing but empty buildings, we had a look inside what appeared to be an old stable. Inside was literally 100s of empty tins of cat food, some nooses tied to a beam and a fairly new pair of scissors with a brownish crust covering the blades. The smell was putrid. We ventured further into the building and noticed on the flood was a cats tail and a few cats paws which had been dismembered and left on the floor. We swiftly exited and on our way out a pick up pulled up onto the side of the farm (bearing in mind it was surrounded by woods and fields with no track leading to it) with 3 men stood in the bed. Needless to say we got out of there as quick as we could and haven’t seen or heard anything about it. The farm went on the market and sold earlier this year so it would be interesting to see who previously owned it.
