Have been meaning to load this report for.........about 2 years.
History on the place can be found on Silverstealth's report from May 2008.
I grew up in Milford and always wanted to get out there a take a look.
This is for you Dumptyboy,thanks for your patience
Received a text from tommyramone asking when I was back in Pembs and as chance would have it,I was heading home that weekend. At first thought the text was a wind up..............
Anyway,bright and early on the Saturday morning, Haven like a mill pond
With the help of Captain Ginger we headed out under the jetties toward 'The Rock'
And then we were up close
Long and short of it, tommyramone had permission and the keys to get in. For the first time in a while we was 'Authorised'!!!
Anyway,here we go with a slection of the 200 odd pics I took in under 2 hours
Part of original Martello tower built in 1852
One of the cut up muzzle loaders left behind
And another
More 'heavy metal'
tommyramone
Loads of old signage in lower level
very rotten timber
Kitchen area
Pipe lagged with rope - groovy
Up there as one of my fav piccies
Steps up to top bit dodgy looking,but held my weight
Nice view of original Martello
Mount for rangefinder??
Alas, then it was time to go. Our time window was quite short because of the weather front that was coming.
Remember Pic 1, Haven looking like a mill pond? By the time we had got off The Rock and returned to Hakin Point, the sea had got quite choppy and it was pissing it down.
Captain Ginger had method in his madness when he said he'd be coming back for us when he did.
Still had time for a 'spin' round the fort before heading to Val's for a cuppa
Not so blue skies in background
Could have easily uploaded all the photo's (300+ with tommys) taken in the 2 hours we were there.
Massive thanks to tommyramome, Captain Ginger and Sandy for a spot on day.
