We used to visit these places as kids all the time; this is the first time we took a camera.
I met up with mk1kabab after work and decided to visit these as a warm up before venturing to more complex places in the future.
The places we decided on were;
* Penlee battery
* Maker battery
* Maker redoubt
* Underground oil tanks (WW2 I think)
* Whitsand bay pill boxes
Anyway here are the pictures enjoy.
penlee battery
This was easier to enter than last time thanks to someone removing the hatch completely.
Main tunnel.
Air vents was one in most of the rooms.
Old Stella.
Vents.
maker battery
Mooring point.
Shell lift.
Most of the bunkers were sealed up and the open ones were full of junk.
Gun mount.
Close up.
maker redoubt
In the moat.
Mk1kabab trying to look cool stood between the draw bridge supports.
Arch.
We entered this room through the roof and proceeded in through the opening in the end wall.
And this is what we found, so we crawled in.
Not sure what it was for but it was about 1ft wide and went round the back of the first room.
Then we decided to venture down here.
Fairly disappointing, one small wet room with vents in the roof.
Don’t we all!
Underground oil tanks
There were two tanks and this was the entrance to the first.
And this was the other.
Winch close up.
Vent.
Filling points.
Going in.
Huge valves and tank entrance.
Mk1 having a look, they were full of water so next time we will be equipped with wellies and flares.
Inside a tank, these things were massive at least 100ft diameter id say.
whitsand bay pill boxes
Roof braces.

Well that was our first day I think we did fairly well
