Visited with Siologen.

We went here a couple of weeks ago before I left for Ireland and after we'd had an epic day of fail in regards to what we were looking for (although this paid off in the end because we found it eventually). The day started off so promising weather wise but whilst we were ambling along the coast, the heavens opened and splatted down a load of raindrops the size of golf balls. We got soaked and ended up squelching around Dover talking about the usual filth and asking locals for information.

So....as a last resort, we checked out the oil mills which were so murky that it made all the photos come out very misty because of the condensation. There was some interesting graffiti :p It was still a good recceing day and a great opportunity to (kind of) get to know the area...even though we still got lost a couple of weeks later.

In conclusion....Dover is full of black holes and conspiracy horses.

That garage hate people climbing up there to have a look at the place, which is why they've cut all the trees down from that bank. I havn't tried to climb it since, so it's nice to know it's still 'doable'

Lol, somebody's got a bit of chip on their shoulder eh?! You seem cut-up by it Alias, I gotta say!

That brick arching at the top of the cavern in the first 2 shots looks very unusual... is it form the construction of the tunnels or is it later "remedial" works?

Missed quite a lot actually, which is a shame considering how close you were, carry along the ledge and you get to lower oil mills which isn't huge but is great fun to crawl around. Then just the other side of the garage is this http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=37268 Access to which is always a joke :p

Saying that your pictures came out stunning!

I really am hurt about the abuse written both here and various other sites about me, seriously it cuts me up and stops me sleeping at night.
