RAF Truleigh (ROTOR Bunker) - 04/NOV/07

[TheWhiteRider]

RAF Truleigh, located in Truleigh Hill, Sussex. Entry was difficult, and involved a fair bit of climbing. The doorways were sealed after some kid was killed by a blast door falling on top of him after he'd unscrewed the hinges (what was he thinking? :crazy). Unfortunatly for me, the climb was a bit too much, so I handed my camera to friends who are better climbers then me, and they went exploring. We took along pot holing ladders to decend in (the stairwell ends at the door, but the entry point is a bit higher). This is quite an interesting site, as subbrit hasn't even been down there. There's some photos of the outer buildings that REEF has taken, see this thread.

Anyway, on to the 'good' stuff (sorry about the quality of the pictures, we're still new to this Urban Exploration stuff).

If you've got this far, you should know how to get to the entrance.
