http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/c/cardiff_coryton/index.html This was amazing but a poxy hotel sits on the site now. The odd thing was every brick piece of wood and glass and even the soil from around the area was removed in trucks. The blast doors were cool as and the underground level impressive. To get an idea of size check out the last i pic of the operations room in this link. http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/c/cardiff_coryton/index2.html Here is a link with loads of pics. http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/c/cardiff_coryton/index3.html

lol, trmps are handy sometimes, if you have a can of lager the soon show you things they have found down places, and they can tell you how often police come around. As for spiders BURN THEM ALL!

All you need fella is a group of 3-4, head torches, first aid kit, and some ropes. This is the basic kit you need.

Bump for the day, not long now guys.

Basically, when it comes down to the laws, if its private property but open access its still trespassing, hence why most of its done at night. Cautions , fines and so on are a common thing. Alot of the time you can get permission to enter certain places,but then they are the places seen a thousand times. I tend to find the places out in the sticks or at least away from the roads so that if security/police do turn up you have the chance to find a good place to camp while they look around. Hi viz uniforms are a blessing at these times as they are seen a mile off.

Its under the cathedral fella, its known as cathedral steps, google the name.
-
Can you still gain access, as I have a skeliton key for all pad locks
-
Mate its not easy, there is now only one entrance and wht i can gather is in the following pic, this a a guarded secret for entrance by all accounts and it is a nightmare. In the pic , on the right habd side by the bridge you can see an old window that is open, you get in via that. http://www.darkplaces.co.uk/phpBB2/album_screensize_thumbnail.php?pic_id=7382&sid=b02377572614dd0cbfc5d68c0bc957db Pic aint working follow the link. http://www.darkplaces.co.uk/phpBB2/album_screensize_image_page.php?pic_id=7382

OMG!. Im going to do some digging and locate the entrances now, watch this space
-
Manchester here I come lol.
-
Most are but you get the odd few on there that are like it. Other than that a great site. We need to organise a trip for something along these lines I think.
-
I think I am still on there, I had a few things to say about a certain member who smashed up the insides of an old church, and they didn't like me saying it lol.
-
Thats is amazing, I am building a 1/5th scale focke at the moment, pretty cool 85" from cone to tail and 115" wingspan, thats a cool find. Thanks for that fella.
-
Yeah they are the ones fella, they used to be linked by walk ways at one point but over time they have rusted away and fallen into the water.

Just practice and tracing back through links and all, Got a lot of practice when my bamp wanted me to find friends that he served with in Palestine with the royal welsh guards. Now that was hard but I managed to fin d the last 2 alive. One was his Sargent, called Bartram who now lives in Canada, he is cool as hell. The other was private Davies. The hard part of that is that something nasty went on when the were positioned so they did not speak about alot of the stuff so tracing it back was not easy. For some reason the records of what they did were unobtainable, I applied for them with permission off my bamp using his service number and they showed up until a certain date, after that date I was told that the information was unable to be released do to circumstances. My bamp won't even tell me what happened but Sargent Bartram would only say it was known as the Palestine massacre, so I thought it appropriate to stop digging on that. The weirdest thing is that there were never any pictures of his squad. Im fascinated by this stuff so spend hours researching it. Its the main reason what got me into urbex. You may find these cool, I want to go explore them before I die for sure. Anti aircraft Batteries from the war, now thats worth exploring. http://www.southeast-defencephotos.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_WW1_submarine_1978_%284%29.jpg Thats also cool as hell a scuttled u-boat at Kingsnorth
-
This maps alot better i would say alot more things can be made out at the end of the runway 28,. A picture taken by the Luftwaffe during the war of the same site. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Luftwaffe_Photograph_Of_RAF_Manston_1939.jpg Another cool link, http://www.danhamblin.btinternet.co.uk/pages/bob.htm Also have a few historians working into Ravens theory of a underground bunker being built. But they did like to hide things in the ground there during the war, due to the threat of bombings.
-
If thats the run way marked 28, have a look at the large shape in the ground just at the end next to what looks like houses, also along the same runway, there are supposed to be sunken bunkers along its length, now there are outlines that match all along there at intervals, some where on there is also pillar boxes and numerous access points for a underground network off tunnels that 100% exists.
-
Lets have a game then, follow the link and see how many things you can make out in the ground surrounding the airport and spot the hidden bunkers lol. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&safe=off&q=manston%20airfield&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

This is interesting that I just found. Only 5 miles due South of Margate is Manston which started its aviation days as a Royal Naval Station in 1916, with a base at Westgate Bay for seaplanes. The early airfield was on the area now occupied by the passenger terminal of the civilian airport called London Manston. By 1917 Manston airfield had grown to include four underground hangars, its own railway line to Birchington, a power station to generate electricity, barracks for 3,000 men and even an indoor swimming pool.1940 and WW2 brought the Battle of Britain and Barnes Wallis arrived in 1943 to test his bouncing bomb at nearby Reculver before the Dam busters carried out their famous raid. R.A.F. Manston closed on the 31 March 1999 Now that just goes to show they liked their tunnels lol, so god knows whats under the ground in the surrounding area.
-
Denbigh assylum or county assylum is one to go to, its known as county due to the size and its freaky as hell. Wales is ful of these places to go.
-
That bunker could be under your your land aswell. makes sense
-
You have opened a can of worms for me now lol, Apparently at manston raf base, there are secret underground bunkers which have cacooned spitfires in that were forgotton about and lost years ago, found a thread about it, it may be an old thread from 2008 but there are things in it that make it possible. I will add a link and few images to get the minds going lol. http://forum.keypublishing.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=164232&d=1217671324 A pic of a buried runway that supposedly has the bunkers near http://forum.keypublishing.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=164274&d=1217874181 http://forum.keypublishing.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=164275&d=1217874181

Not much is documented about this site. It is located in a small quarry on private land. And consists of three entrance passages with a number of branch and side passages cut directly into the chalk. The three main passages were enlarged and brick reinforced where they pass under the lane above. This was carried out during WW2, and it is thought that these were used as air raid shelters for locals inhabitants with the sites proximity to Manston airfield.
-
There are miliatry bunkers all below manston and a secret bunker with aircraft and so on inside which was sealed up and forgotton about. Also does alland grange ring a bell
-
There are loads 100s of miles of tunnels networking your area. There are also rumours of underground ammo dumps all linked in the area by these tunnels. You may find that there are links to the manston networks aswell
