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...

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...

This is the WW2 radio bunker I went to visit another location but unfortunately was heavily guarded so I decided to take a trip to this astonishing piece of history. Now some of you may think this is boring but the fact you are able to be in somewhere that was once apart of a war that’s not in a...

Hello guys. First time poster here not a massively interesting one but I was passing through the area so thought it was worth a look. Its taken me ages to get this posted as the whole reason I visited this site was to test out some 35mm film which I didn't get developed for while. The...

History- The Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory(MRAO) is located near and is home to a number of the largest and most advanced aperture synthesis radio telescopes in the world, including the One-Mile Telescope, 5-km Ryle Telescope, and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. It was founded by the...

History -Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) is home to a number of large aperture synthesis radio telescopes, including the One-Mile Telescope, 5-km Ryle Telescope, and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. Radio interferometry started in the mid-1940s on the outskirts of Cambridge, but with...

Hi all,Been planning this report for a while now, taken several visits to see most of the area, with some close calls I was able to photograph majority of the satellites on the main site. This sites been done is some detail on here now, so ill ease off the history of the site and just give the...

Heres a request and a post to bait those who seek new challenges to get something I am interested in investigated close up. I have found a site which seems to have no reference here or in Subbrit. Its an estimated 200ft high redundant radio mast which looks to have a ladder all the way up...

This is right on my doorstep , after seeing reports on here i decided to go check it out ! i went at 5pm on a monday without thinking and needless to say i got caught ! which was more amusing than anything else! anyway, quite an interesting sight, im more into military sights myself but my pics...

The History The Mullard observatory is a pretty cool site hosting a shit load of interesting stuff. I first visited the site back in 2015 and climbed the cluster of dishes positioned out on their own. The report can be found here...

The Day A beautiful & hot day, So North Weald is a fair bit out of my way (Bury St Edmund's) , My nephew asked me to take him to a Supercar experience on the still active Runway in north weald..... quite strange seeing a 12yr old drive an Audi R8! Anyway I had previously checked the Subrit...
