Ill have to get back to you on that at the minute, as i think Tunnelrat is having car issues! i shall be travelling by train to Ramsgate to meet him, as alas i do not have a car! living on central Brighton does not permit! and the Pig is not really the best for the trip! hehe... If Tunnelrat is having car issues still, we may have to blag a lift :blush: But so far, if i say meet at esso? bp? as located here http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=631515&y=140640&z=3&sv=631515,140640&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf any questions?

Ok, this is all new for me! no idea! how they work or indeed what im looking for... Infantry in Northern Ireland. what would they have used as COMM's, i know its back mounted. circa 1970-80 is my ideal, can you get these? and do they work? :banana: :yay!: :banana: :yay!:

I shall give a few more ideas, as im getting alot of questions, i hope this helps and can ease some people:) issues : Dark- yes it is haha Spiders - not many, and they are friendly if there are Entrances- plotting room is small gap, small lowering onto the floor(we shall assist) then down a ladder, about 12ft, so if you have issues with that please sit that one out:) Deep shelter: its a small drop in 2ft, and down stairs, about 150, but it has landings for a breather! and there is no hurry! Elderly or children - not advised for obvious reasons most of the things we shall do, are indeed very easy and just as walk about and very rewarding, you do not have to go all the places, and can leave at any time. I hope no one gets worried, as its all very easy. If you can climb in and out of military vehicles! you can do this for sure! 85% will just be casual walking and seeing nice things..... this help? any questions:) :mrgreen:

so, numbers.... richardrosser Snapper ArtistsRifles rambo1969+4 rapier rob safariswing ian2b+3 is this right? It shall be SATURDAY 25TH NOV. As the days are closing in, meeting at around 1000-1100hrz would be best. I shall get printing at work, and make a few packs up with info and maps. Be nice to see you all:)

Yes im game! my pig is now kept on the harbour, with lots of old buildings, but alas will be a few months as i have a lot to do to my Pig.. ill let you know when! and well, i shall meet you on the Underground trip? Neil thomas? i know you! welcome! i bought your HVVPK landy!

Well so far thats 10+ of us! so thats all good! Please remember: Hard hat (up to you but usefull) Gloves (its cold and protection) A torch/headlamp (and a back up! and batteries) Boots or sturdy footwear (trip and slip hazzards and a walk) Bit to eat? (we shall be out a good 4/5hours before we get to a pub) waterproofs (you never know) Camera/videocam (im sure you will want a few snaps) Saftey is paramount. again this is your own issue, we are just a few lads who want to show offf what we do and find:) Although the places are safe, there are trip hazzards and some slippery surfaces. We would prefer Adults, children and elderly not advised for the underground sections. Well as soon as i can get a 100% count on the people, i shall set a meeting place and ill print off a few bits so you have some mini maps and some literature for the day:) Look at me aye! sounding like a tour guide in a museum! hehe Any questions please ask

I shall be making a huge effort this W&P. My pig shall be repainted and wearing Londonderry numbers and a complement of 8 mates, all in full 1970's attire, weapons and riot equipment. And our camp site will be themed as much as we can towards the period. Will be nice to see a Pig with full crew and correct battledress, and full of troups as well ! Pig convoy would be good, i know Tony shall be joining me on the trip up... anyone else?

Yes i know Tony Warner well, alas my Pig rests next to his... Also there is one in Worthing i have discovered, in sand and green camo? John does have a mk1, a squirt, as well as another in his barn;) (in bits) Would be nice the next war and peace to get a convoy going of pigs

Honest everyone, I would not take anyone anywhere where i thought they would be in danger. We shall start with a nice stole around some of the interesting above ground bits, and the underground stuff we do will be nice and easy, if you can get in and out of your vehicles, you will have no trouble with what i have planned.

Only ladder you will find is in a plotting room, other entrances more of a squeeze and 3-4ft drop I would not put anyone in a place I would think was unfit, and the majority will be walk in and have a look about. come along:)

I use a plastic treat as used in Valeting. Its a little bit like tyre paint, but its clear and forms a "as new" appearance... but the main thing is , it forms a barrier and stops the rubber drying out.. If you would like some to try i can bring you 5 litres mr Cliv

I have created a post in the things to do section... please all confirm numbers there:)

Oh yes! all in favour of attendance! it shall be on a saturday..poss the 25th NOV all in favour say "Aye!

Ok, due to interest, myself and Tunnelrat are going to do a Tour based in Dover Kent. The day will start at around 12pm. Meeting a place to be confirmed. The party will travel by car to some of the more interesting and easier to access places of interest. Including Deep shelters used to command gun batteries in WW2 (150ft down) Various gun magazines Underground Plotting rooms And a few other bits and bobs that we shall plan. A nice day out in the winter sun??!?!? All i can say is, all the places you enter at your own risk, as we cannot be held resonsible for your insurance and well being, but anyone with common sence would be fine. A must for the trip. Some good sturdy foot wear, as some of the places are a bit of a walk. A good torch or 3! as they always bust when you need them! i recommend Petzl headlamps... Some gloves would be of advantage And a helmet would be usefull! as I have been known to smack my head! And lastly some all weather clothes as you never know! We shall terminate the tour at the local, for a few beers and a good chat.. We shall do our best to inform you as much as we can on the sites, and shall try and provide a small info booklet:) Will be nice to see some friendly faces who share the same green machine and bunker interests http://con9784.fotopic.net/p34833496.html

We could run a small HMVF trip... Of course some of the places are a bit of a squeeze and indeed we cant be held responcible for your safety etc... gloves and a saftey hat are recommended. And aloto of these places have alot of stairs and very dark... But if that sounds good to you...well put your name down, im sure we can do a wee trip and show you some fun things! as well as a nice pub for a spot of lunch etc
