Photography And A Bit Of Therapy

So if you keep up with my Live Diary blog then you would know that i`ve been ill recently and have came off of some mediation. I hardly ever leave the house nowadays, so since i was feeling down in the dumps, i went for a little walk with David down to a very isolated area that is pretty tucked away.
But it`s awesome, so i`m gonna show you!

 So where i live, there`s this huge industrial estate behind me; it`s mainly for recycling but there is a safe distance in-between the houses and the factories. Every now and then, there are explosions and loud disturbing noises; but since it`s a wonderful place to live we really don`t mind.

But if you walk down the main road that leads straight down between the factories. At the end of the road there is a row of bushes and there is a small dirt path that leads down to this little section of water.
You have to go down into a dip and there, there is a small stream then you go up the dip on the other side. The only thing is that when it rains, the path floods and when we went down the water had just settled back down.

 So when you get out of this little dip surrounded by tress, you end up on the nut-brook trail. These trails go all around england and i think they`re all supposed to be connected together (I think); but they go on for miles and miles so it`s hard to walk down them for a few hours. Everything looks the same so you never know how far down the Trail you are.

So the area that i go down is actually part of an old coal mining industry, the factories that run along the back of this place are quite old and used to belong to the miners as storage space. However, it`s completely mined out... There is another place in Ilkeston that has an abandoned coal mining section (We used to be famous for mining), but that was bombed by the Germans 7 times as the Viaduct ran across the edge of; luckily for Ilkeston, every bomb missed the Viaduct and hit the mining areas, meaning that there are still huge holes in the ground that are filled up with water as a place for local wildlife.
Luckily, this area of mining was never targeted so it`s flat and very stony and tracks ran through it. One side is completely fenced off but someone has obviously been down and torn a hole in another fence to get in. Then you can walk down the other side which leads you behind factories and then runs through a place called Stanton.

But it`s lovely to walk down there, it goes on for a long time and it`s quite and out of the way. Obviously it`s bumpy and stuff but it`s out of the way, it`s quite and it`s just nice to be by yourself and go for a walk every now and then. Since i was ill (at the time, late upload) It was nice to get out of the house, but the next morning i was sick so i had to have a day off of Sixth Form... :/
