Many people on here will already know about the issues we have been having with so called 'youtubers' and 'urbexers' who like to appropriate locations from this site, pose as explorers and generally abuse them in profit making ventures. The guy in question in this article has taken it one step further by not only appropriating the locations and information but has been stealing our photos of them too!

I'd like to ask everyone to make a conscious effot to distance themselves from these kinds of people. Exploring is about discovering and exploring epic places then sharing them for future reference and people's general enjoyment. It is not about publicising yourself or any other explorers activities for financial gain or some kind of likes and shares ego boost

Well somewhat unsurprisingly he’s managed to get himself in the news again

Man grabbed innocent woman in the street as she walked to work

Matthew Holmes, 25, from Flixton, Trafford, has been jailed for 26 months

That's really awful for the woman. Sounds like he has many issues, not just his need for validation in this field.

I hope for his sake I never cross paths with him in Paris especially in the catas , I’m generally a chilled guy but there’s limits
