Tunnelrat will be doing the register at the start and end of sites we visit. well, so you all know the location to meet, we may need to regroup when we all meet, as with 10 cars in convoy may be issues at sites parking etc. Remember to bring the following.... Torch! and a back up!! as without it, alot of the sites will not be as enjoyable Boots and warm clothes, and some gloves. *test your torch!* We are still not 100% of the route we shall take, as we need to be haisty as it gets dark at 1630. But meeting at the moment is 10am, at the petrol and petrol derivatives fueling station:) any problems i shall post my mobile on here next week, and i shall get a 100% time shedule and smooth over any problems.... hopefully we can keep you all entertained! and bring your camera! Tunnelrat will be doing signed photos at £4.99, as well as his signature series Petzl Headlamps at £24.99 , and Eraser and pencil sets are £3.99... all are available at the stall at the end of the trip. hehe Speak soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Lee (SafariSwing) - do you want a lift down there to save on vehicles??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok, a quick overview of the trip..... Meeting at 1030/11am.... (site may be changed for ease of finding) Head to location 1: underground magazine : access, well a wee squeeze but fairly simple, also some original mess buildings and Observation posts. 2:battery plotting room : access, Down a shaft on a steel ladder (14ft) and your in. Move locations off to the next area 20mins away 3. Gun batteries and surrounding pillboxes. access: very simple on foot. 4. Deep shelter. access: not an easy one, but while we near for those who are nimble and small! while we are close we may as well have a look, others continue around the site, you wont be left out i promise. off to next location 5. Gun emplacements and magazines . access: on foot, few brambles 6. Fortress plotting room . access: small squeeze and down a ladder again. simple, unless you hate ladders 7. underground magazines . access: on foot. and observation posts 8. Deep shelter. Access: small drop (2/3ft) and down some stairs. (very enlightening place) 9. Battery plotting room :access, ladder again 10. if the light permits. new site and Deep shelter 2. access:squeeze and slide in... easy All the places are easy enought for the able bodied, Anything you dont like the look of do not do, as there will be lots more! I do stress! a torch! and a poss change of clothes as the rain recently may result in getting dirty! And safety is your personal issue, but alas i would not put anyone in a place i did not think was a good idea! If anyone is worried about anything please ask! now if your time... If the drop in the Deep shelter entrance is worrying you, bring a small set of steps:) but im sure if you all can clamber in and out of tanks and green machines you will take in your stride! And i hope we entertain you for the day! So.... Questions ? or worries? lets have them:) looking forward to seeing you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
