I have been doing some thinking recently and am wanting to visit Chernobyl at some point in the near future.
Just thought I would ask and see if anyone has visited before and how they went around booking tours with guides etc..
The site has just interested me a lot and would be one of those things I want to see first hand especially after reading a lot about it all and seeing so many pictures from others..
Mods if you could leave in The Lounge for a while as I think I'll get more response, much appreciated!
Cheers
Mike

The fish are immense..!
It does look like a huge nature reserve built into a city.. Apparently horses, wolves, boar and bears roam freely within the grounds largely unaffected by the radiation.. (unless they have super strength/night vision/laser vision etc)
I just think it looks like an awesome place to visit.. think i'll be booking a weekend over there later in the year

Please take a good camera, and update us when you get back.
Funnily enough i was looking into this last night.
The radiation levels are considered safe. The Ghost town Pripyat which was evacuated after the reactor meltdown is safe to visit ( one with the ferris wheel ).
They run tours through the town apparantley. And you can go inside some of the abandoned buildings.
Just keep well away from the reactor , or in a few years time you will be growing extra fingers and toes.
