I remembered seeing a female motocyclist's photos of riding through chernobyl now and finding them very moving so dug out the link.

That kid of speed is an interesting read.

Kid of speed was what I was about to post, her site has been on Barrysworld before and here too.

I find it fascinating, I love the photos of a deserted land completely devoid of people. I know it was an awful thing to happen of course, but it's still very interesting.

If I wasnt such a pansy about radiation I'd probably go there to see pure desolation. I think it would be very moving and eerie and something not many ever experience.

Superb site that girl with the ZZR

 

[Frizz]

Hmm, never seen elephanitiasis result from radiation. Appalling.

I found this all very interesting. It was a few years ago I got interested in what was going on in Chernobyl and also the cities that were nuked in Japan.

These threads were also a good read...

bloody hell, stupid modcp system

sorry Brooky, I was reducing your warning and accidentally banned you again. You're not banned now, and if there's any weirdness just drop me a line and I'll sort it. In the mean time I'll ask Jupitus or another super to see to your title as I can't help you with that.

Interesting site. There is, however, no attempt made to link the problems shown in the images to Chernobyl, unless I missed something.

After all, those things could just be random mutations.

Could be but I'd bet most of them weren't. I love nuclear power but Chernobyl was shite.



No, wait. I disagree with Tom. I'm leaving !!!!

Hmm, I'm going to have to dig it up now, but I'm fairly sure this site got debunked. Yes, she DID go to Chernobyl, but as part of a tourists on a bus type thing, NOT during regular trips on her motorbike. In the debunking the guy running the tourist trips did say he wondered why she was dressed in motorcycle leathers and carrying her helmet....

That's not to say that the site doesn't make you stop and think about a lot of important things.

Edit: See this page and the links on it or just google for it yourself.
