hope you enjoy them, wish i had more time to go to ww2 tunnels but was on limited time
link for ww2 tunnels http://sub-ex.blogspot.com/2007/11/gibraltar-ww2-tunnels.html
 
Nice pictures there, and excellent views, you can see why they chose this spot.

I didnt see any of those thieving apes in the pics either :lol:
 
The WW2 tunnels are amazing! We had our own personal guide and we were in there for well over 3 hours. He let me wander into some of the no entry areas. Aparently you can arrange a further tour with the MOD there by proir arrangement to view alot of the lower tunnels that are military only.
 
I had to go to Gib about 8 years ago with a senior chap from work. On a day off we did the tourist bit and went up the rock for a few beers. Looking over the side at the monkeys this chap said that one down there is having a TOMMY TANK! It was aswell.
It amazed me that so many youngsters knew about TOMMY TANK it must have been the most pho tod monkey of the year!
Great Pics
Sorry if TOMMY TANK upsets anyone
 
Interesting locations,as they aren't the most visited sites, did you go up on the Cable Car and walk down ?
Or get a Taxi
G
 
Nice pics but those bloody apes are dynamite dont turn your back on them for a second they will have you lol, and that cable car is scary too lol
 
we used the cable car both ways cost about £50 up and down for 4 of us . going up is good coming down is a diffrent story
 
It's a tad more expensive than when I was there ! (93-96)
Used to walk up and down mostly
Ah memories........
I have some video of my last trip in 2004 of apes fighting on my back, little buggers

G
 
When we saw the apes a monkey climbed onto my girlfriend. Then decided to do a wee!

Alot can be seen if you go about it yourself. Don't bother with the usual tourist trap and go on a tour. Walk up and you can see alot more. We had a hire car too so i drove right round the back of the rock got to see loads of interesting stuff. Even the huge tunnel that goes in one side of the rock and back out the other side!

Yes you can, and I have! No pictures unfortunately, but amazing stuff, including an underground, under sea-level lake - the COLDEST water i've ever experienced, brain freeze doesn't even cover it, but amazing nevertheless and the old hospital 'pit' blood stains and all :sick:

There's over 30miles tunnels compared to less than 10miles of actual road on the rock! (I'm not a geek, I used to live there!)

Did you go through the MOD area past sandy bay into the old road tunnel to Europa Point that was shut when the guy died in a rock fall? Some very cool tunnels leading off it ;)
 
Well i basicaly drove right round until i got to the gate the shut off that road. Right by the motorbike clubhouse. Saw the main large lorry sized tunnel that goes right through to the other side.
 
May i ask pink mini who/where/how you contact the MOD for the extra tours of the ww2 tunnels? i'll be in Gib in 3 weeks time for my wedding and think it would be a great way to introduce the new wifey to a spot of urban exploring!

YES!! We did the same. It was a while ago and i dont think i have any pics but it was so interesting. AMAZING.
 
OH MY GOD!!!
I was here when I was 5 years old, and I got attacked by the monkeys because you could buy food to feed them and it looked like smarties, so being a wee girl, i thought ooooh sweeties, so i ate the food and got pounced on. That is why i am now scared of animals. Thank you rock of gibralter!
But seriously, cool photos, thanks for sharing :D
