The home of "Abandoned Isle of Wight" Exploring abandoned derelict places, uncovering and discovering the hidden, forgotten and derelict places across the Island. In addition to shooting videos I'm also a keen music creator and make all the music that accompany my videos myself.
I am also working on some other exciting content exploring further affield.... Please subscribe to be kept up to date!
Thankyou, Sir for a lovely tour of this abandoned castle. It's magnificent. The architecture is so beautiful. I could have watched this all night:-) The music you have put to this video is also beautiful. Although I don't mind some communication as long as it's relevant to what they are exploring. History is amaZing. I love your style approach as you feel the indepth explore. It's not distracted in anyway. Taking in the architecture needs a lot of concentration and thought. Thankyou so much for the video. I look f/Ward to watching many more😊 I have Liked/Subscribed👍
Excellent information shared with a chat that is an offshoot of earthquake forecasting channel. To bandy about multitudes of alternative ideas. They will love this. I have seen pitches to get energy and water from the air. Falls in line with those. Would love to be off grid...
I did the same stalker trip as you did in Sep 2019. It was an amazing journey, when I left the exclusion zone I was already planning to go back. Who would have ever thought that the Russian invasion would screw that up. Great video!
Well this was definitely worth the 5 year wait! I remember reading Ben's 28DL report back in 2019 and hoping you'd make a video of your adventure. It's so interesting seeing all the forgotten details that most people will never get to see, the hut full of documents looked particularly interesting. I'm curious, did you use the geiger counter to get an idea if the water you were drinking had elevated levels of radiation?
I worked at the hospital for T.B. Patients from 1953 to 1955 had a very happy2 years there living in the nurses home . The underground tunnel was a great way for us to go on duty in bad weather or just if we wanted a short cut to the hospital. The hospital itself was an old building but a very active place when I was nursing there . What is now the botanic gardens was then the gardens to the hospital and the patients as they were getting better enjoyed taking walks in them and I remember even in those days we used to have games of bingo when the patients who were still on bed rest could join in we nurses would stand outside the patients rooms and if anybody won we would be able to let the person in charge know. Those were happy days for us nurses and the patients even with their diagnoses of T.B. Were generally a cheerful lot of patients.😊
I don’t remember seeing this, but it’s a very long time since I went to Blackgang Chine. I must have been around 8. I could listen to the music all day . Does anyone know what it is?
This is all very interesting to me. Partly because my Father ( Dr E V D Glazier ) will probably have been somewhat involved with the original radar system they used there. He worked at the Post Office Research Establishment at Dollis Hill at the beginning of the war but then moved to SRDE at Christchurch where he became the Head of the Radar section. He later moved to RRE at Malvern first as Assistant Director but was soon promoted to Director. I had my own interest in electronics but my Father never talked about his work, probably because it was all secret, but about 1970 he took me and my school friend Michael Hall to RRE and showed us their Type 80 Radar system. It seems the NATS continued using the Type 80 on the IoW. It is disappointing to me that these places are allowed to fall into repair but I do understand the perceived cost of maintaining them. At Dollis Hill there is a second Churchill underground Bunker but that is not being well maintained and with a lot of water on the lowest floor in spite of some pumping. But it is somehow listed so that gives it a little protection. I worked for BBC Transmission and some of the sites they operated had some facilities similar to this one on the IoW. One of my duties was the estate management of the Alexandra Palace facility. There were many people trying to get a Broadcasting Museum established there but that never came to anything.
Excellent video guys, however I feel bad for your 25 mile/40km hike. Why not get dropped off at the train station the walk in. Or just take the tour bus to Pripyat? You can’t explore too much at night anyway as your flashlights will give you away.
fascinating stuff and a good insight into post ww2 history. obviously dangerous to enter now but it is a shame that these sites cannot be used to teach new generations the dangers of nuclear war
With the volume on low, I could well feel the tension and unsettling unease which I remembering feeling while watching the film by Tarkovsky I saw in my youth. Very well and brilliantly done!
Great question, thank you! So far, I've had no issues, but it's true that any potential impacts might not be clear for years. Despite careful water filtration, the risk from even minimal particle ingestion exists. Before entering I considered these risks thoroughly, fully aware of the dangers, taking all possible precautions, so hopefully nothing to come 🤞
You have come along way from the days of exploring IoW. I found your documentary far more exciting than any BBC propaganda documentary and not dumb down for the idiots who watch word government controlled entertainment. Thank you, take care and carry on!
Maybe... I do have some that I've kept back and I've been out visiting sites, but the issue that stopped me uploading IOW bits was everything was getting trashed. Ryde Theatre was a sad example of this; I'd waited until the building had been secured before putting anything up and within a matter of weeks it had sadly been smashed to bits. Would this have happened anyway without my video? Maybe, but I hate the thought that I'd given someone the idea to go ahead and disrespect the location.
What a journey! I'm sure Pripyat served in many minds as a point of fascination (Call of Duty), but it was epic to see some of the scenes outside of the normal touristy areas. Would love to go there some day as well. Fantastic quality and production as always, Nick. Even if it wasn't the Isle of Wight ;)
