This was an explore that was nearly three and a half years in the making before the base had even began to properly wind down it's operations. My good friend and exploring partner who lives in Bordon had known about the impending closure since 2013 and promised me that whenever the opportunity...

Upper Hale Underground Reservoirs, Aldershot Garrison, Surrey – April 2017 Continuing on from Flexlands, Southside, my friend and myself visited this site. I don’t really do underground, but I quite liked it here and I think it lit up quite well. History These Reservoirs are South of an area...
