Report - Farleigh down tunnel-Wiltshire- may 2022

[Down and beyond]

After seeing so many people doing tunnels on here thought I would give it a try and here are the results .

This place has been shown many times before so history is already on the site but here is a link .

Monkton Farleigh Ammunition Depot Farleigh Down Tunnel – Subterranea Britannica

Subterranea Britannica is a society devoted to the study and investigation of man-made (including Nuclear Bunkers) and man-used underground places.

If I copied And pasted it you lot would be bored to death !

Some beautiful gears pulled this ammunition around.

Heading inbye just shows how nature is reclaiming this place

Looking outbye a nice incline

Their was some original blast doors but their knackered this whole area of storage is destroyed so it's a shame . Let’s presss on !

The incline out begins

So it’s mainly full of cart type items and rollers .

Bigger rollers and a coupling

This is showing how the ammunition was pulled out

Half way point had hand leavers for gears .
After this it’s just the same all the way to the very end and would get boring to show you it . The end is a dead end looks like their could be a nasty crawl out through some awful metal I didn’t fancy trying it in shorts and trainers .

time to leave .

Pretty interesting! This was on my list to explore in the next month or so, seeing recent pictures is a great help as there was rumours going around it was demolished/boarded up!

At 25 mpg that a landie gives you that's a serious amount of cash these days. Lovely vehicles, but not the most economic, you must burn 30 litres each way?

Much more than that a average day out is 400-420 miles at 18-21mpg
