world wide urban adventure resources Adventure sport companies, enthusiasts and organizations are well-connected on the Net Compiled by Wes Modes world wide web
These are a few of the clubs and organizations that deal at all with
urban adventure. Many of the big adventure sport outfitters, gyms and
equipment manufacturers also are online.
Infiltration--"the
zine about going places you're not supposed to go." This site
is just too good to be true. A very well-made site that pulls
together experience, gossip, how-to, and advice about sneaking
around. The only site I've found on the net that has a true
appreciation for nooks and crannies.
urbanadventure.org--A site for those who feel hemmed in and
hen-pecked by the rules and restrictions of our over-protective,
authoritarian western society. It is for everyone who wants to break
out, thumb their nose at authority, and fart in the general direction
of governments, corporations and convention. Information on just
about every type of artificial chamber or tunnel there is: Drains,
bridge rooms, gas pipeline tunnels, disused sewage tunnels and many
unnamable tunnels under the city. Photos, stories, safety.
Cacophony Society
Archives--"A randomly gathered network of free spirits united in
the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society."
