guy seems like a total arse, anyone who has explored law properly knows that stuff was there, like stu said, "they broken the urbex code"
for those who may have nosed around ravenspark in irvine, and many other closed hospitals this stuff was everywhere, including personal items.

Well i hope he enjoys his wee 15 minutes coz im sure any wee tips or help he has had in the apst will now dry up.

Of course, there is a more serious side to this, medical records of any kind should not be left lying around when a hosptal closes. Rather careless to say the least. Does no-one carry out a final check before the padlocks are in place?

Agreed but the probable official response will be to crack down on UE rather than investigate and correct the processes which allowed this to happen in the first place.

Totally agree HH

It is unthinkable that such items should be left in any building when it is closed. The neglect to carryout such a basic function is unacceptable.

However I do think this guy has just made sure that any such building will now be inaccessible to those who wished to explore empty buildings. He has a lot to answer for and I don't think his 15 minutes of fame were worth it.

Storm in a teacup, Alex. They will flex their muscles for the benefit of the press, but it will soon die down again. They don't have the will to sustain any long term action.

Probably not HH.

It is sad that someone who took the decision to enter the premises couldn't have just gathered up the items he was so concerned about and sent them to the appropriate authorities if he was truly so concerned.

From what I'd heard he taken some shots and submitted them to the "your pics" section of the BBC website, not really thinking anything of it, and the journos there jumped on it.
