RE: Tales of the Urban Explorer: The Remains of Sheffield Ski Village

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

It's amazing and more than a little shocking how much, or should I say how little can be left behind from a vibrant complex just a few short years later. I thought it a tad ironic that it closed in the very year we hosted the Olympics!

In some ways Urban exploration may be the last documented and verifiable fact that anything was ever really there, there's something a little melancholic about that.

I massively envy you these adventures. In fact something just struck me, we used to have one of these dry slopes on the hills a few miles from my home. I'm gonna look it up to see when it closed and the circumstances and then who knows, maybe I could finally try my hand at urbex?

Although I could imagine I too would have to reign in the paranoia. This venue didn't have the creepy discarded dolls or the antique books and the layers of dust that spoke of deep history, it had a very different feeling to me reading/viewing it.

It was something akin to a fallen giant, like looking at a dead dinosaur and thinking what a waste it is. Great photos to document another adventure man. I hope you and yours are doing great 😎

Give that place a go, and see what's left. If the bug bites you, it bites hard and you will become the newest explorer on the block. I am preparing now for a full day of more adventures. There's nothing to match it. !WINE.

A little research tells me it was devastated by fire although as it was struggling maybe the owners were not too disappointed with that result 😉

However that does not mean (as you have proved before) that there is no history to be uncovered at the site. You have planted a seed in my head that shall be nurtured on a day when it isn't bloody snowing...

HA! We all started to feel those first strains of Summer then had it bitterly snatched away lol.

Here's hoping for a long hot Summer just like '76 and an easing of all these bloody restrictive measures that sees us benefit from it. Take good care man and thanks 😎
