Some great feedback on the new site, thanks for that and as of yet no bitching! So thanks for you moaning lot for keeping your mouths shut!

The biggest piece of feedback I've got is "where are the photos?", I wasn't going to host photos for the sites because I didn't think they would really be missed but as they are I am currently working on converting the photo pages to the new format, alphabetically I've worked my way through the visits list up to Brewers Yard Quarry so far. It's gunna take a while but the rest will come.

I've also been sent some information on Hayes Wood Quarry and Goodes Hill Quarry, thanks for that! So I have added the info to those pages. However I am still unsure about the access status at Goodes Hill Quarry, if you know if it's open or not then let me know via email

Nettleden.com is back on line with a brand new look which I hope you like. The site should still be as easy as ever to navigate however all the information on the location pages is a bit more structured and uniform now. I have added 15 locations to the visits list. You may also notice that much of the location details are back on the site as well as entrance’s grid references where available this is due to the fact that Nettleden is an independent website which follows no rules or guidelines set out by other groups, websites or individuals. Nettleden strongly believe that there is no relation between urban exploration websites and vandalism. If you have any comments or feedback on the new website (unless it’s based around location details, copyright infringement or the other usual boring topics) then please feel free to email me. Nettleden is here to promote the urban exploration scene, many of our readers have become hooked on the hobby thanks to this website and all we want to do is enjoy our hobby. We are here to explore not to bitch and moan. Howevere if you do wish to bitch or moan there is now a dedicated complaints page you can use.

Toadys day trip was a total success and a great day out, thanks for to everyone who turned up especially Trevor (AKA-T) for organising the BBQ which was excellent, Dom J and Barry, it was great to meet you guys and Pop and Jason for your fun exploration style ways. Sixteen of us all meet up in the Browns Folly car park at 11 this morning and first of all had a look around Browns Folly Mine. After that we took a look around Farleigh Down Tunnel before heading back to Monkton Farleigh and having a BBQ in the District 20 surface building. After eating we had another stroll around Monkton Farleigh and looker at some of the surface features.

Excellent day, thanks to EVERYONE who showed up. Photos of the day will be online soon.

Nettleden had a fantastic day today yesterday at Box Quarry, thanks a lot to Worzel for being our guide and showing us around. We entered Box through the back door entrance and head for the Cathederal, from there we went on to the wind tunnel and along the out skirts of Spring to the famous door in to MoD property. We then went along Brewer's Drift where you are meet by a wall stopping you getting in to Tunnel Quarry. Next stop was the stone stair case and then we finished the lap back to back door.
Thanks again to Rich, great day.

A lot of people have asked me latley when I first became interested in underground things, when Nettleden started, why the website is called Nettleden and so on and I though rather than keep telling people I'd put all the details here on the site. So now accessible from the bottom of the home page is Nettleden's About Page with a detailed account of how Nettleden started, by who and why. The about page can be found at the bottom of the homepage.
