I first visited this abandoned complex a year ago last April and I'd kept the name off the previous post due to circumstances at the time, but if anyone wants to see what it was like then, here is the link...

The main reason I went up there was to check out some WW2 remains on site, as part of some research into the local Chain Home Radar system and I found some interesting things that I hadn't seen before. At the same time I had another good look around the hotel and leisure complex...well, it seemed rude not to!
This time I accessed some areas that I hadn't seen before, so it was all good. 
Access was by a different route today and began with the WW2 remains and some communication masts which are on the hotel grounds. One of the surprises was instead of just one large Anderson Shelter, there are two. And the other one was built into a hut. More about these and other buildings when I complete the research and post it up in the military forum.
The front of the larger Anderson Shelter and the door, which looks to have been vandalised, although that's the only bit of damage I saw. Sadly, the old original handle and lock has now been replaced with a naff new one and a padlock.
Path leading to the fitness rooms and pool area.
More coming up in a mo!

It makes it look pretty though.
