The Shard Of Glass

Otter — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:00:59 +0000

I’ve always been in two minds when it comes to London and the buildings that now inhabit it. While being a fine display of Victorian, Edwardian and Tudor architecture, London has hit, in my opinion, somewhat of a speed bump in recent years. Giant glass and concrete eyesores have been sprouting up all over the [...]

Torre Jaume I

Otter — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:18:10 +0000

It always feels good to leave England, especially when adventure is on the cards. Don’t get me wrong, I love England, lived here my whole life and some of the best places I’ve visited are here. But Europe (In the British sense of the word) just feels better. The experience as a whole, the countries, [...]

The Road Trip Fandango

Otter — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:37:15 +0000

I know I said the last post would be the final nostalgic / retrospective story, but I lied. The overall plan to return to a normal service is still underway and whats been written for future updates does indeed reflect this, just think of this as a one time special to get some different content [...]

The Legacy Tower

Otter — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:58:45 +0000

Its been a while since I last updated the site, personal and legal issues have prevented this, a mentally and physically enforced writers block. I’d like to say that was the only reason, but it isn’t, bottom line is I haven’t really had anything noteworthy to write about. Now don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying I don’t have [...]

The Brooklyn Bridge

Otter — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:35:37 +0000

There isn’t much that can be said about the Brooklyn Bridge. Actually, that’s a lie, there are pages and pages of potential tidbits that could be reeled off in this situation, however nothing that wasn’t said in the recent Manhattan Bridge adventure. As such i will keep this brief. While the Brooklyn Bridge may not [...]

S.A.K Boneyard

Otter — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:32:46 +0000

I’ve been exploring for almost seven years now, others I know longer than that, yet I’ve never been the recipient of hatred as a result of something we’ve explored. Sure I’ve received the occasional angry email from those concerned with the fact we’re putting ourselves at risk, not to mention the effect this could have [...]

Brompton Road Abandoned Tube Station

Admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:55:26 +0000

Although my adventures into London’s sprawling underground network are certainly over, i do still have fond memories and tales of previous exploits that have yet to be told. For a while I’ve been debating the pros and cons of publishing these stories, part of me wants to separate myself from them as far as humanly [...]

George AFB Boneyard

Otter — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:45:32 +0000

Those who have met me know I hate the heat, with a passion. Summer to me is an unending nightmare, constant heat day and night with no escape outside diving headfirst into water or a freezer. Like a snowman if left exposed for too long i melt, my enthusiasm escaping like water down a drain. [...]

The Manhattan Bridge

Otter — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:33:46 +0000

It had been almost four months since i last crept through or climbed the unknown. The fear of legal repercussion grounding me, causing my inaction, the suffering forever engraved in my mind. It was something that i could not, and still have not shaken. For me, the adventures in London were over, my trump card [...]
