I have been reading "The Dark Tourist" by Dom Joly and there is a great chapter about his time in and around Chernobyl. His tour guide was Sergei as well, I wonder if it was the same guy that showed BLH around (although Sergei in the Ukraine is probably as common as "John" over here!).
I would love to go to Chernobyl but I think the book has given me more of a craving to visit North Korea. Now that would be a strange trip!

I spent far longer than I should have looking for Chernobyl related info in those links.

I don't know if this has been posted or not (has been a while since I've ventured into this thread), but I just found
this Discovery Channel documentary, which looks interesting. May give it a watch later tonight!

I'm pretty sure SkinTagCure is an item in Pokémon.
EDIT; Well this just makes no sense at all now.

Only just saw your post Brer but amazing photos and I am dead jealous as well. In the last year I started randomly reading up on Chernobyl and pripyat and also watched Chernobyl diaries , it's an ok horror film but I watched it more for imagery.

Its cool to look back at this after 4 years. Caused a bit of a stir on here at the time. We became popular as strawberry float.

Aye we're looking to go for Anungs birthday. I'd love to go work in one of the orphanages with kids with disabilities. Would be dead interesting to see what radiation does to the body.

Actually I just have interest in both physics and congenital conditions from a medical point of view. I'd be there to learn, not laugh. (Though there was a kid on a BBC documentary not long ago with no arms or legs who sorta cartwheels everywhere on his stumps which was pretty badass
)

Anyone thinking about doing it, go while you can. I read recently theyre cutting off access to alot of areas. Even when i was there you couldnt go to the vehicle graveyard.
Aye, on fallout you always get the most Rads in Junk Yards!

I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject since this thread was bumped in November. I missed it first time round. I am however putting some serious thought into going over there later this year...

Brer posts frequently, but the best way to get in touch with him would be to send him a pm, just go to the bottom of his first post and click the button that says "pm" on it. That sends a message directly to his inbox.
