Reading Flight Paths

Yaz — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:42:39 +0000

Ain’t nothing better than hoppin’ in a Cessna-150 for a cheeky ride over the Channel to hit the shops, it works a fine treat with the women. Anyone can ride around in modded shitbox with an oversized exhaust but poppin to Calais for a cheeky brew in a plane just cuts a shade further than the Coleman’s mustard.

Besides that, paying Carling’s Reading Festival a visit from 3000 feet can always impress, especially hittin a 100knot turn at 75 degrees. Shouts to jg

In other news, if you’re partial to destroying your ears with drum n bass filthier than Zero’s mum in bed, you should probably give Callide a listen to.

The Mystery Machine

A few years ago an interesting bloke called Dave got hold of me to paint up some some of his vans. Thanks Dave, Call me sometime if you have any more vans. Shouts to my rotten fam for this one.

Note: If you’re wondering, we cleaned the roof, got some black rims and fitted out every square inch of the inside with 2in thick shag carpet.

Orly? No, Yarly

The photo above displays a section from a drain which was mightily hard to find by draincunts Zero & Siologen. As it goes, this serves as a cheeky overflow for one of London’s many Intercepting Sewers.

But you cunts don’t want to hear about all that boring shyte. So here’s a photo of Myself and only the Baddest Muthafucker by the name of Loops, at Yarly Junction, moment’s before Sensei Splinter sent us on a mission to save Leonardo and Raphael from the evil wrath of the Foot Clan.

Academy’s Midjunction

Yaz — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:47:04 +0000

When I first started to get into the whole business of poppin’ manholes and venturing underground, I met up with only the illest geezer by the name of LittleMike. Consequently over the years, Mike has become a true friend, I only feel partly responsible for corrupting him with sugary snacks and large amounts of illegality. The rest is partly Dempsey, T-Doc and Scott’s fault.

Angel of the North

Here’s another fucking photo of myself sitting on the fucking wings of an art sculpture, Angel Of The Fucking North, on a warm summers dawn. Massive Fucking shouts to Scott, Luke & Morse, and to those that fucking inspired such a climb. Most notably two fucking excellent climbers by the alias’ of (most appropriately) Angel & Stepping Lightly.

Pictured above, Siologen crawls through the dusty subterranean fallopian tubes of London, moments before escaping the womb of a ladder rung. “Wah” he cried, “there there, shush” I replied.

Respective respectful respects to Zerotter of SilentUK, for actually following the now sealed utility tunnel under the Thames, and for finding where it goes.

The Salford Underground

Yaz — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:17:59 +0000

The huge underground chambers lying below Deansgate once linked Manchester City and Salford via a canal, which in turn, would later be used for air raid shelters during WW2.

Many of the chambers now lie empty, blocked off staircases forgotten, and built over. The end chambers today are now flooded, but aren’t completely inaccessible, for, a spot of underground swimming can always be sought after.

RIP Jim Smith // Solomon

Yaz — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:23:34 +0000

Here’s a testament to a man by the name of Jim Smith, whom many of my friends and acquaintances knew as Solomon. Explorer, Offshore rigger and all-around adventurer, never short of being somewhere amazingly unique and exotic. I’d be lying if I didn’t envy his lifestyle, depicted by his facebook photos – ranging from all around the world; travels, climbs and missions alore. His career path was and is something I greatly desire. I’d been emailing him in the passed month about career opportunities in the area he was involved in, but unfortunately the replies stopped. My greatest condolences to his family & friends.

Rest in Peace, Solomon, Farewell // Jim Smith 1980 – 2010

STD Drain is, to say the least, a complete bastard to enter. Not only located in most inconvenient overgrown forestry, but the main pipe from the outfall is a stoopy, seemingly never-ending corrugated pipe. The few manhole chambers along this give a small opportunity to stretch ones back, although, one shaft is in complete disrepair. Only after the stoop, does the drain start to become more interesting.

Huge Red Triangle

Yaz — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:04:39 +0000

So, urh, yeah – there’s a building in Leeds, it’s student halls or something. Its pretty huge, and the hatch at the top looks like it’s locked, but really it isn’t, and like, all you have to do is unclip a little hook on the hatch. Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you how to even find the hatch. Follow some students into the building, make sure you really tailgate them, because there are two locked doors. Take the lift to the top floor, head for the fire escape – and there you have it. Disco

Torre Monte Santo

Yaz — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:32:24 +0000

For all I knew she was talking about pesto, the Italian woman sent her brunette daughter to converse with me instead, through the window of her kitchen. She spoke a little broken English, and asked me what I was doing on her house. Technically I wasn’t really on her house, I was clearly stood on some feeble aluminium sheets, some 200 feet above Milan on scaffolding. I answered her questions, occasionally staring down mindlessly at my dusty kicks, each small step sending chunks of concrete below, sharply clanging to the bottom.

Thinking back, I’m wondering how we even managed to walk passed concierge dressed in the manner we were, backpacks and McDonalds wrappers clinging onto us, still feeling pretty rough from the night before – Fisherprice, DRSS, Meeting Martin, New Blood.

Rudegyal Liv

This is Liv. Liv has a pretty amusing giggle kinda like a sheep – which usually follows by myself imitating it, which is generally frowned upon by Liv.

This one time, Liv said she’d walk to the shops and buy me a can of coke. She actually forgot the cola, but I forgave her.

The Humber Bridge

Yaz — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:57:21 +0000

Because the truth is, in that tiny speck of time, we were insignificant to the moment, the universe and everyone in it. How amazing it was to share a memory in that minuscule, insignificant moment in time – sippin’ a Mountain Dew, Hi-fivin on the edge of 510 feet, laughing with Vivo.

This is the Humber Bridge. It scared the living shit out of me. Click here for more.
