Pripyat: 7 Days and counting.
20th May 2011 - 0 comments
This time next week UrbanX will be kissing his loved ones farewell and stepping out of his front door. Alone, and bound for the abandoned city of Pripyat.

Apologies for the break in News stories for the previous couple of weeks, preparations have been manic.

Here’s the contents of the camera bag, note how there is 2 of most things (cameras, torches, respirators, etc.): One wouldn’t want to be without a spare when in the most radioactive place on Earth.

Let us remind you this isn’t a 4 hour ‘extreme’ tourist trip. UrbanX will be living & sleeping with two shifts of the Chernobyl workers across four days.
