Site: Parson Drove ROC Post - Cambridgeshire Group - July 2010

Opened - March 1960
Closed - September 1991


Another post visited as part of an '8 ROC Posts in one day' tour, Parson Drove had been ingeniously locked with a cleverly fitted mortice lock so became our first 'fail' of the day in respect of underground shots. The post was recently sold on eBay to someone in Oakham, Rutland but it looks like nothing has been done to it apart from the fancy lock.

Never one to be outwitted I broke out the Tube Cam Kit and did some 'remote photography'. The interior looks to be the same as its always been with the red spray paint noted by Sub Brit back in 1999. My Tube Cam Kit is due to be modified in the future to provide precise shots, these ones are a bit poor but its better than nothing.

The famous Shetland pony is still there, it crept up on us and was attempting to eat Winch It In's Canon kit while we had our backs turned doing the Tube Cam :lol:

Don't blame you, mine was only £200, losing that wouldn't have been so bad, the worse thing would have been losing the 500+ pictures we took on this explore.

Generally you dont. I know for one, my SLR wouldnt fit, and i dont think anywould tbh. You take a compact camera. Also its been known that some FSM Covers can take over 5hours to get off.

I havent been able to mine off my post yet and ive been on it for well over 2 hours. Some are easy some arnt. I'd rather just contact the owner of the post, which isnt really too difficult to do.
