| | | It's been a long ten weeks for me, stuck inside for the most part wondering when I'd be able to explore again. The government briefings made it clear that from June 1st, the first measures towards an easing of the lockdown would be put in place and it was June that I targeted for my return to exploring, having not done anything since late March - the longest I've ever gone without in my almost eleven years of exploring. The attitude here in the UK has been really divided, with many 'old timers' holding off, respecting the 'stay at home unless absolutely necessary' messages whilst the awful virus was at it's worst because exploring was not an essential activity, and ending up in hospital thanks to an injury sustained whilst out and about was simply not a risk I or any of the similarly minded people were willing to take. Equally though, there were a large amount of people - mostly the sort of 'social media explorers' who were out and about without a care in the world, causing dramas and issues as is the norm whilst others watched on in horror at their careless antics. Personally for me exploring at the moment is now all about relative risks, for the next little while I'm making sure the areas I'm exploring are pretty remote, so as to limit my potential encounters with others to a greater extent - the only people I ended up really seeing at close quarters yesterday other than my friend were petrol station workers and when I bought my breakfast from a takeaway food van. If the government deems it necessary to reintroduce a stricter lockdown to avoid a major rise in infection rates it will of course be something I adhere to as I was doing before, which will be frustrating but necessary. Until that happens though I'm going to attempt to explore as much as I am able to. This house was on my list to explore, a tip from a friend of mine recently. The house itself was nothing special, very old, falling apart and largely empty however the thing which made me want to see it was the large American motor home parked next to it. The Fleetwood Pace Arrow was certainly a bizarre thing to see nestled next to a house tucked down a narrow single lane road in a tiny hamlet of no more than a few scattered houses. The property had numerous outbuildings which seemed to have a lot of newer contents stored inside them, as well as a Ford Transit van and another caravan so the last owners must have been planning to do up the house whilst living in the RV - it was last on the road in 2009 which gives a rough date of abandonment of the property as a whole however the house has obviously been empty a lot longer than that. 1
