ford 369 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 its an interesting site that I tend to look at now and again as it seems to be updated fairly often but I am glad you reminded me as it is a while since last visit,is my memory playing tricks on me or was there mention of a possible forum visit to some ww2 defence sites in southern England being organised?

Pete Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) No problem, it's probably better to sort it out via PM tho', and we'll need to keep the numbers down to a maximum of twelve. First come, first served. You'll need to be able bodied (I would have said "fit", but that would count me out.:-D). You'll need a boiler suit, torch (A headlamp would be better.), and of course, your camera. Here's a taster of the sort of thing that I'll be aiming to look at: http://www.sub-ex.blogspot.com/ (Our Colin's brilliant blog.)

paul connor Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 If you need help with locations PM me, as I see Via the site locations there are probably off my head another 10-14 deep level shelters in the area that he has not listed. As well as battery plotting rooms and magazine etc, you can get lost in the Area, I have spent around 8 years returning frequently and I have loads I need to map still! We did do a HMVF trip there before, sure there are pictures on here? Link anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 369 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 When the weather perks up a bit, I'll be having a mooch around the Dover area, if anyone fancies it? definitely be up for that when you have a time in mind please pm me and I will sort out a trip to Dover cheers, Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul connor Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Pete, If you need another set of MV wheels I could pop down with the 110 and show you all a few places.. ? depending on the date etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm open to any ideas for a date, but I'd prefer it to be on a Sunday. So far there is plenty of room left if anyone wants to tag along. Paul, yes mate, that'd be top notch! I know a fair few bits to see, but I'm sure that you know a lot more. PM me if you're interested, and suggest a Sunday in April.

Pete Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Suprised you all went down the cliff to that entrance:) We're too lazy to dig, and didn't know of any other way to do it.:blush: Our Colin (Who lives in Dover.) has just mentioned this: "I was in the South Foreland area recently, and the area is being cleared of all the trees to make room for grazing, the sealing up of the tunnels also appears to have begun, with No.1 gun magazine entrance having been filled in. I haven't looked at the shelters, but it wouldn't be surprising if they are in the near future. Get there why you still can!" FFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
