Tales of the Urban Explorer: Tarmac Topblock Ltd
“A concrete factory… it sounds a bit crap?”
I was musing over the latest 'hot find' by @anidiotexplores that was by all accounts, easy to access and very erm.. 'concerety' sounding.
Yes, that's a made-up word but quite apt given the description.
We snuck up to the fence that was heavily decorated with a mixed plethora of barbed wire and its bigger meaner elder brother, razor wire.
One-touch of this on your skin and you can be bleeding like a can of watery tomato soup.
“Here”, yelled @anidiotexplores who had gone wandering off at some speed.
He does have a habit of finding holes in fences and this one was substantial. With the wire forgotten about, we scrambled through and found ourselves on an 80% bulldozed industrial site.
Looking around I figured it was a gamble getting over to what was left. If any workmen were on site, they would see us right away.
As incognito as possible we walked toward the tower pretending we had hi-visibility gear on and hard hats. Perhaps if we imagined wearing them, we would be seen like that.
It didn’t matter in any case, as there was nobody about. Not a human anywhere.
Reaching the battered door, I was determined to reach the top of this beautiful architecture and take in the view.
I didn't get very far and was presented with a dirty red switch that didn't work, and a thick layer of dust.
As there appeared to be no way further upward, I was to go down and exit the tower.
The next building was decorated with 'fuck', surely there must be some good stuff inside?
Lots of concrete blocks are hardly surprising.
I could see the local fire-starters had visited but only done half a job.
I get to see these heavenly portals quite regularly. One day an angel might walk through and demand a ciggy.
Amongst the burnt-out metal sheets, it looked like rails on the floor. Just how old is this place?
You can be sure that number is the local brothel. Shady advertising is cheap and plentiful in old derps such as this.
Leaving the building in search of more I looked around for @anidiotexplores who could not be seen.
You had to walk distances if you wanted to see all the wonders of ‘Tarmac Topblock Ltd’.
Edging around the front cautiously, I found an open door as well as my comrade in the corner of this picture.
It's an old invoice, so old it pre-dates the Euro. As I remember 10DM was around £1 making the price for these dozen stripper shoes around £280.
Hang on, I thought this was a concrete plant, not a lap dancing hangout? Could it have been the bosses of ‘Tarmac Topblock Ltd’ liked to keep their employees loyal with extra side benefits?
I was liking ‘Tarmac Topblock Ltd’ more and more and conceded there would have been a long line of blokes waiting to work here once.
Looking around for more seediness, I found yet another invoice which was more businesslike and a little more recent.
It's all rocket science to me. Could it be they did some real work here after all?
Written correspondence needs to be sordid personal letters, not this crap.
Adjusting Racks could get you crushed, it says here.
For a second I thought I was back at Kwiksave looking at the clock cards, but these are something else. I was spared my moment of horror.
A decent amount of crap hanging around, but I had rummaged enough in this particular building.
Looking around with great caution we legged it to the final building of any interest and leaped through the open window.
The fact is I caught my balls and was yelping in pain. Why do they make these windows ever so slightly higher than they ought to be?
I managed to get inside and hobbled about for a few minutes wincing at every step. It was a little more entertaining with some bad and crude graffiti.
.. as well as a few chairs and the odd desk.
I was thinking that the microwave might still work.
It was in decent condition, and yet they always leave them behind?
Fake sugar, ugh... I can't do with it.
If I had put on the clothing, sat down, and read those manuals I would now be a qualified concreter.
We navigated down a racist corridor into what looked like some changing rooms.
The lockers were empty, not even a sweaty sock.
The shower looked in great condition, except you may leave with bloodied feet.
The printer paper was devoid of print or written wording, I did look.
A lovely tarmac t-shirt with a hat to boot. If only I was a thief they would have made a fantastic souvenir.
We exited the ‘house’ and made our way back to the entrance point which was quite a walk.
Now uncaring if anyone was at the front gate we brazenly passed it seeing nobody.
The ‘fuck’ warehouse and tower of the finest architecture came into view. We quickly passed them in search of the hole.
@anidiotexplores could not be bothered walking 'right over there' and found a closer exit complete with another handy hole in the fence.
He was down the mudslide in seconds goading me to follow. Knowing I would probably fall on my arse, I stumbled toward the tree, grabbed it halfway down, did a 360 then continued my descent in an elegant dance that astounded my colleague.
It is best NOT to believe everything I write...

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

Lol, you fell a bit then?
Them clouds have come out super dramatic on the outdoor shots! I think people always leave microwaves because they are always much more heavy than you expect!
Believe it or not.. I escaped, did use the tree to stop me.. did swing on it.. and then ended up running at 15MPH down the rest of the embankment amazingly keeping up.
Smashing!! I thought the way you written it had resulted in a blooper at the end!
I have fallen down smaller slopes to my shame :0)
It was touch and go.., bloody mud.. middle of summer too!
Its always the mud, that treacherous grass always hides it!
I know it only looked like a pile of old blocks inside that first building, but one day with the help of a skilled British 'tradesman' that could be a half finished shit wall - building blocks of the future
It's more likely to have been demolished by now. Most of it was gone, and it was some time ago when we visited.
The opening that you so gracefully exited looks like a well-traveled path. I love seeing these old abandoned buildings and you do a good job telling a story about them.
My bad luck that the weather was ropey that day.. and it was squidgy underfoot.
To think that these were once bustling thriving places.
Wooo... it looks scary in there... awesome clicks !1UP
It wasn't.., but I am very used to complete silence in such places. It's something that comes with experience.
You have received a 1UP from @mango-juice!

That sounds nearly athletic/gymnastic Tell me that @anidiotexplores snapped a few shots!? That was quite a mixed bag of tricks there. Those rails on the floor, what were they for? I was thinking of just transporting something heavy from A to B.
Are tjeu wreclomg pr renovating?
I think so, concrete blocks tend to be heavy. They used rails such as these in the very old days.. but this looks more pre-fab.
At least it was a window sill that you caught your balls on and not the razor wire around the fence 😬.
I'm with you on the fake sugar. It's garbage.
My knackers take a lot of shit, I tell you. I have a massive bruise close to them now from the last escapade.
All that jumping fences and dodging rubbish piles really does a number on the groin area lol
Looks like an old military airfield/hanger complex.
And unbelievable what always stuff left it! :D
They always leave something behind! Makes it all that more interesting.
what was the coolest thing you ever found?
Quite an exploration you did there..
What was the factory producing though?
With the name, Tarmac would be a good guess.
Tarmac?
I'm not sure I understand what it means though, how could I have guessed?
plenty of ACM's floating around, I must be honest I love the childish graff in these places
ACM's, whats that?
Google, showing it's bad grammar!
Asbestos
Containing
Materials
quite common in brickworks, oh and silica. But fuck it life is short
You get used to that smell of old buildings, even embrace it!
oh YES !!
Just wandering... any rats or bats in this type of buildings? It might be dangerous for your skin as well.
I have seen both, they scurry away quickly. One place I have not wrote up yet had a few bats in a room. Never seen it before.
I love it and can't stop laughing :)
BTW, very interesting story with (as usual) wonderful pictures.
😂.., my imagination is a little warped!
