on a recent trip up to Wales with a mate we decided it would be a waste of a trip if we didnt have an explore of some sort. after a quick search we found other reports of the Llanberis bomb depot, it turned out my mates little brother knew where it was. . . . . . .or so he thought. follow the green fence he said, its just behind the green fence he said, so of we went followed a green fence and on the other side was a rather large hole in the ground, we followed several other green fences surrounding various other huge holes in the ground and even an old narrow gauge railway tunnel but no bomb store:banghead numerous phone calls later and we were there:D (yes it was the other side of a fence and yes at some point it may have been green but now it is defiantly not)

there are so many other reports of this place with great history ill just get on with the pics.
