Indeed. Apparently Silvermines in Tipp has moved to Wicklow :eek:

When did they discover the tectonic plate shifting Silvermines over to Wicklow?

i've been into urbex for years but was always to wary to pack any of my slrs because i'd worry about either having them break or seized by the police if we were caught. someone asked about bolands? i got in there with some friends more than once but the first time was the hardest, we used a boat to cross the river and then climbed up into the building, the weather was awful and it was about 4am when we got inside. we used nightvision cameras and took it very slowly because we soon saw huge holes in the floor with deep drops that went right into the water below. the whole place was in pretty good condition and was very interesting looking, especially the room with all the keys for the building.


bolands roof (sorry about the awful quality, it was a nightvision camera on my head)

The craziest part was when we climbed the ladders outside the building to get onto the very top of the building, the ladder was old and looked like it would go at any minute and the wind was really rough but the view was amazing. would i do it again? i think we went in 4 or 5 times then the last time got caught and escorted off site by security. the last few times i squeezed through a tiny window on the street (being small helps) and was making my way around to opening the gate when a security guard walked up and looked just as surprised as i did ..that was the last time we went into bolands and the police kindly drove us home where my mom went mental.


some kind of sea loading bay just before descending deep under pigeon house


the control room in the power station, all the dials were gone but it was still really great looking

Other than that i have been in the fort in the phoenix park (it's ok but nothing special, my friends climbed the gates while i squeezed through the bars) there is an interesting network of sheds with some decent graffiti but its not as good as bolands. pigeon house out by the power station is a good explore too but very dangerous once you go under the building, it was pitch black and there were holes everywhere, if you stay above ground its fine enough but under the building is very dangerous and some parts were flooded. the last explore i did was under abbey street, right under the luas line on the way to the liffey tunnels, i was lost for about 2hrs and so very little of interest. when i lived in russia there were tons of places to explore from bunkers to silos but i stopped exploring because it just got too dangerous and it was only a matter of time until trespassing charges were pressed.


one of the sheds in the fort, i liked the graffiti

under abbey street, the start ..after that it just got pitch black

I would say at least 50% of urbex trips are not legal. But they are illegal because owners are afraid you will steal or destroy, sometimes injure yourself in building that is falling apart. It's not aimed against people who just want to make some photos in place that is not in use. I have almost 100% photos from old "concrete factory" located in southern Poland. It's like being on the set of TERMINATOR SALVATION. I came, I saw, I made photos. But yes - it was illegal. And dangerous.

Yeah but I need to upload them so they will be accessible to public. Try this link, tell me if it works.
