Debated whether to add another report from here but hopefully will add a few different images from this awesome site.
Visited with Lisa, Timmy & Steve O over both days, although Steve couldn't make the second due to being in Barcelona. I had to go back after the first visit just to take it all in & see other parts we missed. Another trip wouldn't go amiss tho
Met quite a few peeps from here along the way & a big thanks to Derelict UK for some pointing out a few things. Thanks also to everyone involved from Sub Brit & the tunnel marshalls for 2 fantastic days. Got more than a few funny looks in Ikea Bristol afterwards caked in tunnel dust!

On with the pics...
Our entrance for the visit....Tunnel 4
M.A.P. Drakelow sign in one of the two sub stations
Above ground air shaft to the shadow factory...
....inside the air shaft....looking up
Looking back down the shaft
The huge fan with Timmy about to fly
One of the Time Offices
Tunnels
Strong Room inside the RGHQ section
Shadow factory canteen
Some of the original fixtures, fittings & signage
There was some fantastic examples of old grafitti varying in date but here's some of the older stuff
Also came across a few initials carved into the wall, here's one...
Time to leave, thanks for looking.
Wish the organisers the best of luck for the preservation & i will certainly return when it opens!
