Hello fellow explorers!
My name is Maria and I live in Birmingham. I've been drawn to abandoned buildings since childhood. I had lost touch with this interest of mind for the past few years but I recently got back into it and now I can't get enough. I'm always walking around these days making a mental list of the potential sites I'd like to enter. π
I have a thing for tall dark buildings & other massive structures but I don't say "no" to tiny derelict houses either.
My level of expertise is lower-intermediate. Strategy and enthusiasm are some of my strengths - if there is a sneaky way in, I'm sure to find it. Good at disarming security guards too. My weak points are lack of physical strength (for things like rope climbing), which I am working on, and the fact that I get freaked out at the sight of my own shadow on solo explores.
Not a fan of vandalism or using force to gain entry but I did learn to pick locks. π€·ββοΈ
Sadly, while the people in my social circle occasionally tag along, I don't feel like their heart is really in it. I'm joining this forum hoping to get acquainted with more like-minded individuals some day.
And I know, I know, you have to prove you are cool before the top guys are willing to give you a chance - fair enough. With that said, I am just putting it out there that if any newbies (even with 0 experience) in my area are reading this, I'd be more than happy to pair up and start our own Adventure Club βΊοΈ
Hit me up, I can explain the safety protocols and we can take it from there if it sounds ok.
Looking forward to gaining and hopefully giving inspiration!
