[QUOTE="Wolf1066, post: 5197731, member: 88680"] Thank you. And thanks for your really informative post on vadding. It's something I've dabbled on the edges of when younger and always wanted to do more of but never had the guts to do properly - always hit low risk areas and looked wistfully at interesting-looking places to "explore" that I felt were out of my league - too risky, too hard to get into. Sadly, let my fears prevent me from building up the skills and equipment you describe - largely due to the risks of being arrested, taken for someone casing a place or engaging in burglary/vandalism etc that you note in your post. And you're right that the paranoia is higher now - which ups the ante considerably, given that they seem to think they can do anything they like in the interests of "counter-terrorism". I always called my sorties "exploring" - did not know the term "vadding" until I read it here a few days ago. There are still places I see every day that I'd dearly love to "explore"/"vad". You've had some interesting fun, Jack, and I gather you do/have done some interesting work. I think the big attraction of RPGs for me is that I can pretend I am doing what you've done IRL - penetrating the defenses of secret places, skulking about in tunnels etc. [/QUOTE]
