Like Toby says the woman is a fake, take a look at the pictures of what Chernobyl caused.... Crying or Very sad https://todayspictures.slate.com/inmotion/essay_chernobyl/
If you like the idea of going to Chernobyl do a search for the 'love canal'

I spent time 50Ks north of Chernobyl in the city of Gomel in Belarus.
The wind blew north in May 1987 and the waste and ash came down like snow over the town. I was last there in 2000 and I wonder how many of the kids I was with in the university will live to 40. I have a tattoo of a V-Twin engine on my back that was done out in the woods by a local bike club. It just says Gomel 2000, not the best ink in the world but it means a lot to me.

Most of the fall out is now soil bound. Do not drink water from the area of eat anything growing in the area and you are ok.
There is danger by just breathing the air but not as much as being in a pub before the smoking ban.

That's an amazing picture Ariel.

Not only is it sad because of the number of people who died pretty much immediately from the radiation, but those photos are so eerie because you can see people have just left their lives behind. Half of them won't even be alive now.

Makes you wonder what became of them.

Humanity's greed willl fuck us all up one day.

My understanding is that the claims to it being fake suggest that there may be more than one trip, might not have been on the bike, more than one person there etc etc.

Ive certainly think the story has an element of poetic licence but altogether fake? i dunno.

Thanks Bendy.

Even if a lot of the website is fabrication, she has still taken some fantastic pictures.

Thanks Bendy, that sews up a lot of the doubts that I have had since I first read this pile of poo.
I once heard a blind couple from Cambridge on Radio 4 spouting of how they travelled to Afghanistan alone to rescue a rare carpet from the Russians who were at time fighting the Mujerharadin. Bull! In fact they had travelled as a group with Intourist to Uzbekistan and purchased the bloody thing in a hotel shop. I was with them and they were a total pain in the sphincter.

Did this guy ever make his own website? I'd rather look at his, with his photos, as it's genuine, than give the fake site more hits...
