Sue and I explored an abandoned house in one of Manchester's parks - it was especially poignant for her as we knew the last park keeper who lived there and she could look at the wreck of the rooms she'd visited and even slept in as a child.

Deserted and mouldering buildings hold so many memories of so many people. It's an environment to be respected, but sadly many would rather trash them.

Just look at what happened to Gwyrch Castle in North Wales. I've been in that building when it was in use and jousting was held in the grounds. Now it's a sad shell and the loacal police and council sat back and watched it happening.

I can't think of a worse job than demolition, especially seeing the architectural beauty of some buildings that actually are torn down.

Third, the reason I haven't responded before is that I don't have 'net facilities at home, so I have to use public facilities when I can.
On the other hand, it could be argued that even passive urbexing is illegal trespass and doing "light, unstructural" damage (smashing windows, etc.) is not hurting anyone and is actually part of the natural decay of a building, as it tends, almost inevitably, to occur in places which are left unguarded.
Are you really suggesting that it's OK to go around breaking windows? For what reason could any responsible person want to do this?

Did the camera have a problem locking focus with the fast moving subjects? The camera won't fire unless in focus.

The video seems fine, certainly at the size shown on the web. Not so sure about the music though - it doesn't follow the action and seems disconnected from it. I also found the stop-start nature of the music track a bit irritating.

IIRC the instruction books say that if the camera locks up, remove the battery for a while then reinsert and if all is OK a repair is not necessary. Equivalent of rebooting a computer I guess.

I'm assuming the battery was OK? And that the lens contacts were clean and the lens mounted firmly in position?

If the fault repeats and/or persists then it looks as though a repair may be necessary.

Nice subject, I'll particularly enjoy this one.
