Let's check it out...

|
Garfield268 viewsAlas, Garfield, we knew him well.
Of course we knew him well - he's gotta be about the most over exposed and intrinsically unfunny cartoon animal ever.
Damnit, I'm GLAD I ran over him!
|
|

Elite Urbex Directions259 viewsThere will be NO getting lost tonight - it's Del's turn to navigate!
We get over to the car and open the route papers he painstakingly made up for us this evening.
So, if we go left at Spring Onion we can loop around Bread and end up in Wife. Wait...
Del, this is your fucking shopping list!!!!!
Del has clearly picked up the wrong document.
Wife?? Wife shopping Del?!
|
|
The Location149 viewsWe are feeling most welcome already!
Yay!! Exploring in a strange country!! Will they understand our language?? Are there cultural differences? Will we get along with the locals OK?
Fortunately D speaks fluent English - and can translate from Scots for us!
It's a scary business - this international exploration!! :-D
|
|
Deed Car144 viewsWith the Super Urbex HardCore-Mobile safely parked, we make our way up to the plant.
Nestle Purina has an interesting past - first it was a Dog Food Factory... Then it was a Baby Food Factory... Then it made Dog Food again.
I do hope they cleaned the equipment before and after the changes!!
|
|
Doon the Scheme!130 viewsToday's adventure? PGCC and I are making a return visit down the scheme!

|
The Hospital151 viewsThe Hospital awaits us - closed in 2005 after a fairly damming report into patient care.
|
|
The NightClub93 viewsNo night out in Paisley (cringe) is complete, without a trip to Liberty's.
Linked into its sister venue, Carnegie's bar this place actually had quite a decent beer garden a while ago. The club (like most things in Paisley) started to slide down-hill a few years ago and ended up as the run down and seedy* 'Paisley Pole-Dancing Academy'...
It didn't last long after that.
*Much like the women who graduated.

|
HartWood Hill49 viewsWhen we first started this exploring malarkey, we didn't have GPS to help us find out of the way locations.
And that's why, on a cold October day in 2003, while looking for HartWood; we found ourselves at HartWoodHill! Finding nothing but a very active hospital (with patients who stopped our car to chat with us as we drove around the grounds) we beat a retreat to find HartWood.
Fast forward five years, with the Hill Hospital now on a slow wind-down to probable closure and we are well due a return inspection!

The Secure PlayGround69 viewsThe Secure Unit - every aspect of this building has been carefully designed to prevent escape, from the ground up.

|
|
The Boat - D Investigates131 viewsMy companion this time around: D, checks out the boat.
Some shaggers in a car across the wharf are in eye-sight but are fortunately too wrapped up in their own affairs to notice two suspicious characters hanging around an old boat!
|
|
Drive Carefully102 viewsDrive Carefully, eh??
Well, that certainly didn't apply to our drive over here - I had to get used to driving in a strange country on the SAME side of the road!!
|
|
Funky Kinda Scary Mural69 viewsGetting in wasn't a huge problem... We'll talk more about this later.
This mural greets us as we pass the entrance hall... Seems to be depicting a scene in Africa... But the Communist lightning makes it a bit confusing. Looks angry!
|
|
Gartloch Posse320 viewsEh, ok... There is a party in Progress on the roof of the Nurses Block.
We liked these kids, they were nice! They offered us some drink and a smoke then let us take pictures. After we carried one of their completely PISHED friends down the fire stairs, we thanked them and left!
If only everyone we encountered was as mild mannered!
