Brilliant stuff, Chernobyl done properly and not the tourist way

If Carlsberg made reports!! What a riveting read and thanks for sharing

Amazing report. You certainly have a lot of courage and ability to visit this area. The climb to the top of the Duga Array must rank as one of the greatest ever achiements on 28dayslater..
Interesting to read on other websites about how many wild animals are living in the area, and seem to survive the radiation.

Fantastic report, and looks like you had an awesome experience. It's a pretty phenomenal place, I'd love to go back one day and experience it in a similar style to the way you did.

Proper stuff that!

I might have missed it in the text, but did you have drops for water or where you doing the boiling and filtering thing? I think that would worry me more than anything else doing the zone trek.

This was the thing that worried me the most before we went and I ended up ordering a Seychelle radiological filter and double filtering drinking water with some Ukrainian filters as well. This worked fine until the last 24 hours when all the filters had completely frozen and nothing was doing its job properly. There was a water cache in the town but that had completely frozen too so by that point it really was time to leave!

Yeah, definitely the most worrying part! I guess though that enough people have done It this way now that we would know if they were drinking caesium!

This is the kind of stuff I wish I could read all the time here.
