Industrial Dreams

After spending the last 2 years hunting quarries 
and being out in nature I have felt the urge to rig
something urban, living far from cities makes this
quite a difficult task and as result I am always on the 
lookout for something that can be rigged.. like this beauty.


Hidden in the corner of an Industrial estate and awaiting
demolition are these 5 petroleum tanks on an abandoned site,
sitting dormant for the past 4 years this site is due to be cleared
and I had to get in to see if the tanks could be rigged..


After jumping a 7ft razor wire fence I was confronted with
years of overgrowth and lots of standing water, 


but it didn't take much to get in and around them and apart 
from some rust everything looks in pretty good condition..


At the back of the site I walked up the steps of the tank
and had a look around on top,


there's plenty of rigging options and everything looks
pretty strong so it might actually be possible..


The gap is 14m and the tanks are probably 7m high or more,
its full of obstacles and it could be a dangerous rig so might 
have to get a second opinion on this one but it was fun looking..
