Visited with Winchester and a non member. Twas a great place to explore along with the mini adventure to the submarine :thumb
When we returned to dry land the local policeman appeared saying that they'd had reports of children playing on the submarine. :p:
Once he saw that we were in fact not children, he ended his health and safety talk short and told us not to do it again and then bid us good day.~ :)

Been listing for years..........they apparently had plans to fill the leaking ballast tank with empty sealed plastic bottles to provide buoyancy
