Report - Clapham South Deep Level Shelter, London - August 2015

[Wevsky]

No, it's the quality of the images I'm disappointed with, grainy and not very sharp on the camera/lens combination I've got at the moment. Also my Tripod is knackered, I've lost yet another torch I brought myself and I've had a massive amount of "can't be bothered" syndrome lately when it comes to photography.

Thought you had a new wangle and fairly new cam,must be settings to be played with Mike..you will get your mojo back

Top notch as always. Loving the arc rectifier!

Nicely done that man, excellent set of photos.

The '@Adders is a cunt' bit really stuck out for me down there too

Despite the sheer size of the shelter and indeed the city, it made me laugh how we still managed to bump into two familiar faces down there #smallworld

Haha yes I heard about that, busted!

Cheers for the comments people and thinking perhaps @Wevsky might make a good motivational speaker.... :

4. Map of layout

Been thinking about emailing subbrit about this - the map is wrong. Both entry shafts were on the same side, not opposite. Maybe this was a generic design for all of them, or an initial plan that was later changed?

But yeah, sweet photos - sure does look like you could have a nice relaxed evening of Schubert down there.

Clapham North, Camden and Chancery Lane were all on opposite sides so I guess South was the anomaly? Not sure about the others.

First rate report and superb pics, It certainly was one of the most entertaining explores .Thanks for the heads up

Excellent set of pictures - back-lighting the mercury arc rectifier works well :

Got chased away a few years ago when it was open at the 'Drum' during redevelopment.
Cheers for the heads up, I needed to see that switchgear and arc rectifier in the flesh.
Glad I got to write my name in the dust in the cnuts hall of fame

The most recent visit by the usual lot I think will go down in some sort of UE folklore history, it's gonna be a hard evening to top.

It's been a true pleasure everyone.

Gutted I missed that little get-together over the weekend but this was a seriously epic location. I want one of those rectifiers in my room

Great photos mate. A stunning place. Thoroughly enjoyed it down there despite getting seriously spooked at one point!

Stunner of a report mate - brilliant!
