The fact that parts of the institution were still used was not a deterrent to the hard-core urban explorers.
The reputation of Graylingwell was not due to the activity of staff and patients still milling around the hospital grounds,
nor of any efficient security or anti-trespass measures. Its reputation was solely down to locked doors, un-smashed windows
and a general inability to get around from wing-to-wing. Urban explorers restored to cat-climbing along roofs and nimbly
scaling drainpipes for little tangible reward – so most simply gave up and swung over to nearby Hellingly which was bigger
and better in so many ways.
