Kvarnholmen Morning Walk
I’m not sure what’s inside because the bottom door was locked and I didn’t bother trying to climb to the upper one, but I was rewarded with a hole in the wall on the left side of the building.
And what have we here?
Nothing really. I was dissappointed because I thought it would be some entrance into the vast underground oil storage caverns inside Finnberget, but it was just an empty room of sorts.
Who knows what used to be here, a generator perhaps?
Well it was still a cool find. Going along with my tradition of disclosure (unlike those worthless cunts on the Flashback forums), the location of this find is here on Bing Maps. The one indispensable feature of BM is the aerial bird’s eye view, which is so much more useful for trying to find places than using Google Earth.
For those who don’t know, Flashback is essentially the one forum website for all of Sweden, which all Swedes know about and has hundreds of thousands of members. I’ve spent many many hours toiling around the urban exploration subforum in my time, and I mean countless hours of trying to extract useable information through google translate.
The one insurmountable characteristic of the users who post in that forum though is secrecy, and you can read pages and pages of threads where people describe in abstract terms the vague locations of their finds. It’s like noone wants to share their locations so they can feel like they’re apart of some bullshit cool kid’s circle jerk club or something.
Although suffice to say, if you spend enough time there you can in fact glean enough information to point you in the direction of places to explore yourself, and a lot of the cool idea’s I’ve had for trips (like going to Myttinge in my miaden post) were born there. So anyway…
Cruise ship coming into town.
And some old docks. Actually I have it feeling it was a long ship launching platform which began at the cement wall.
Ok so I swear to god this bird was trying to scare me off when I walked too close to a pillar its nest was on top of.
It basically kept flying around me in circles and making a shit load of awful noise so I got the message and moved on.
If you think about it, I there was probably a lubricated ramp on top of these pillars because it goes all the way out from the shipyard to the water.
Yep I’m just going to call it right now: shiplaunching ramp.
So here we are.
No, I couldn’t get inside, and I’m hella pissed. It’s a flimsy ass lock though.
