Visited with Reef,

The home guard auxiliary units were formed in WW2 as a secret resistance group that would act in the event of a German invasion.

I've wanted to see this hideout ever since I found out about the Auxiliary units, so it was great to finally find it!
This base has an unusual construction to most other local ones, it has concrete walls and steel girders holding the roof up which means its in quite good condition.
The entrance shaft is damaged due to being mostly corregated metal, this is the only way in due to there being no emergency exit tunnel.
