I've been a member on here since 2014 (I think) but I've been exploring a lot longer than that.

Things are very slow here right now what with the pandemic and myself and my friend spending all our time setting up a new business venture, I know we're getting near the time of year when everyone starts looking back over what they've done but I thought it'd be cool to do a similar style review of what I managed to do seven years ago before I get to that point.

2013 was a pretty cool year, I managed to fit in three trips to Belgium and saw some amazing stuff both in the UK on home soil and over there. It was also late in that year where I decided to start laying the groundworks for what was supposed to be my one and only 'trip of a lifetime' to the USA for 2014, a decision which has totally changed everything in my life since.

In the seven years that have passed since 2013, a lot of these places are now no longer with us or are totally unrecognisable, such is the price we pay for progress.

Cheers, I'm sure they will - itching to get back out there to see you and all my other friends though, this year has been rough.

So many great images here! In 7, was that place supposed to look like a cave? What was it?

It was inside the house of a man who created plaster sculptures and other type works, he'd modelled an indoor cave in a small bar area inside it!

That's so neat! What happened to him, do you know?
