Truleigh Hill R2 Nuclear Bunker 03-10-07

[REEF]

Visited with Monk and Jackal.

I’ve been looking up at this place for a very long time, before I even got into UE I’ve been fascinated with what’s under here.
To see the above ground buildings see my other thread.

With out a doubt access was the most dangerous I have done to date but for me well worth the risk. Top marks to Monk for being the first one in and trusting my rope work and knots.:thumb

The full title of this place is R2 Chain Home Extra Low Station. It was decommissioned in 1958 and sold to a local farmer in 1965. He converted some of it to use as a night club but due to health and safety problems it had to close. The under ground bunker is now abandoned but the Bungalow and masts are now used by the Home Office.

Eight flights if stair's to the bottom

It was indeed "good stuff:thumb"

Reef first brought this to are attention a few months ago, and im glad he did it was a great explore, not as big as wartling but in far better condition.

This blast door lead into the Bungalow but must be secured from the other side, couldn’t shift it.
