Venatus 2 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah, the buildings are all pretty unstable in CHCH, but theres heaps to explore if youre keen! Theres a couple shots on here that were taken about 2 weeks before the second major quake: Heathcote Maltworks Which is now apparently finally been demolished, awesome place to explore...

Theres a couple shots on here that were taken about 2 weeks before the second major quake: Heathcote Maltworks Which is now apparently finally been demolished, awesome place to explore... There's a couple of quake abandoned houses on our street which a mate and I checked out on the weekend. Wasn't game enough to head up stairs due to the damage that we could see but left me wanting to see more. I was quite surprised that the doors were all unlocked and most of them open.

mossline 15 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 Likewise! What are the better spots around the north island? Any members in Wellington who are interested in this sort of thing? I know of a few places, mainly old military stuff but Im sure thee are more civilian spots around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 Is this the old Ravensdown plant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venatus 2 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah westy, It is the old ravens down,about 18 months ago, seems to be some sort of business being run out of the front, they didn't mind us being there though. I'm always happy to go along with new folk, and so is my partner in crime (urbanexplorers) (me and him now working on Urbex.co.nz), all over the north island a lot of the time too, do especially you Wellington guys hit us up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Heh. I used walk passed it on the way to school about 30 odd year ago! It was an operating factory back then and used to stink to high hell, much like the Tannery down on the river... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
