I know its a repost from a couple of years ago but its an amazing read all the same about the 'dead zone' around Chernobyl, some really eerie photos in there.
Proper interesting read if you're into that kind of thing

pretty amazing really, imagine seeing a glowing red forest!
also its scary to think that the concreate casing on the reactor is cracking, and still contains 90% of the radiation.

For anyone wishing to see the UK Chernobyl, head North up the A19 and follow signs for Middlesborough.

I read that she wasn't even on her bike, that was just to dramatise things, was actually driving round with her husband. Says her dad is a Government Scientist with a special entry pass.
