Visited with @cattos mc budget. Getting the train to Portchester, our first task was to check out all the entrances to the Portsdown Naval Fuel Bunker, but as expected it's been sealed shut good and proper! Nonetheless, it was interesting to see the surface compounds, and we still managed to...

The Irbene Radio Telescopes (RT-32 and RT-16) are located near the abandoned military town of Irbene, between the cities of Ventspils and Cape Kolka in western Latvia. Today they form part of the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre. A couple of years ago we managed to visit the area...

Radio Ga Ga Another from last years roadtrips though it seems like a eternity ago. Cant find much about this place but it was clearly a radio broadcasting / listening station at some point in its existence. The building has a distinct soviet feel & had what appeared to be a hardened...

After gaining the grand approval from the better half, to attend a tour of Fort Southwick Underground HQ, this was a golden opportunity to check out a few other local sites which had been on my 'bucket list'. Whilst trolling through a certain explorer You tube channel, this little gem had peeked...

This was our second exploration of the day, located just about 5 minutes up the road from the previous site we visited. Initially, we thought this was the medical center, but as soon as we entered, we quickly realized it was not. After checking the eDOB maps, we found out it is a communication...

The History: This large site started being constructed in 1937 but suffered slight delays in upgrades due to the second small disagreement, the transmitter buildings somehow survived the war and were used by the German army between 1941 and 1944. After the war two transmitters were taken from...

A place I have been meaning to go to for years but never got round to it until now. Solo explore. After driving round for ages trying to find a suitable parking place I parked up on a grass verge, popped under a gate and started a long walk up a driveway following my map. I wrongly assumed...

Introduction I can’t believe it has taken me this long to do this place as it is quite interesting and reasonably local to me. Me @Wastelandr, and @KPUrban_ headed out to check out a few bits in Cambridgeshire with this being the last site of the day. Information & History Founded by Martin...

Hi guys, Made it up to my first roof recently through an apartment building. Incredibly easy to reach the door to the roof which was wide open, for some epic photos and stunning views.... except I didn't go outside onto the roof at all; I turned back. Why? I got spooked by the danger sign...

Visited with Ella. On our way to Norfolk we stopped off here, it’s a shame it’s really flooded and I now understand we missed a bit including a tunnel we have now been told about. Made for a nice little explore though if you like the old military stuff. Entry was pretty simple if a little...

Visited with Ella. We were Given this as a mooch and when we got there and saw the cliff face let’s just say we were a bit scared Lol. Wandering up and down the field looking up trying to find the entrance we spotted a possible one but it looked really high and not accessible from the ground...

The History The 300ft mast itself is of course a utilitarian structure without much in the way of design or character. However, it was evidently built for radio signal I am going to speculate somewhere between the 1960s-80s and has seen recent use by Essex Police who apparenty rent it out to a...

Humber Radio commenced operations on 7th December 1927 as a new station in new buildings at Trusthorpe near Mablethorpe, equipped with the latest communications technology, taking over from the former Grimsby Radio and continuing that station's callsign of GKZ. The new station was built in...

Very long time lurker, first time poster...I've been meaning to post this for years since I changed employment and couldn't get in trouble for it any more. I just hope it's worthwhile of posting... History There's plenty of history of the full site to be found at http://rugbyradiostation.co.uk/...

So I took a little drive out to splendid Cambridgeshire. After deciding to climb half a radio mast; which takes me an age, we didn't get there until dusk. Nonetheless, it made for some great starry long exposures which I haven't seen too many of online. The explore was very straightforward, but...
