French family holiday pt3.1 - August 2014
Well onwards and upwards.
After my visit to Fort du Salbert it was home time and on the way down the hillside road I`d seen a concrete retaining wall and the odd steel door on the way up, so heading back I had
to have a look.
There are two doors, the first welded shut, BUT the second was open just a little and there was a good flow of air coming from inside, so with no kit at all I popped in to have a quick look,
by the light of my Iphone, hello cheeky this looks interesting and big, very big. So back to the car and kit up.
Now I had seen a post on f-book about a legendary NATO comms bunker.
Enjoy the bunker goodness........
The iphone is good but when you get some proper light on the job this is what you see.......
At the end of the corridor is a blast door or epic proportions, the first of two.
The other side of the blast door is another endless concrete lined corridor, you know you are on to something special when it was this well protected.
At the end of said passage is a massive concrete lined room and in the corner is another steel and concrete blast door.
And another passageway and more blasts doors, you then enter the world of a full on, hardcore cold war NATO comms bunker. NO ****................
I just about managed to light the full lenght with my P7, there are room off both sides all the way along, oh and a lift shaft and two sets of stairs.
Time to go down to the next level down.
So along a corridor I walk and find a lift shaft that has seen better times.
And behind me when i turn around is another corridor and also another set of stairs leading down another floor, so that`s 3 floors.
Down below was more passageways and what might of been a plant room, but I`m not 100% on that.
So back up the stairs and I carried along the corridoor, though a set of doors and down more stairs, then there was a door way on my left, as I went through I just stopped in my tracks,
you would as well when looking at this.
Now that`s some hardcore bunker porn, thats it for this post thanks for looking and well done for getting down this far, as normal there are more pictures on my FlickR site so if you want
more pop over to :- https://www.flickr.com/photos/newage2/sets/72157646154983029/
I`m amazed I did not take that many pictures, the place is soooooo big, I think I only saw 1/2 of it, I was just having fun wandering around the bunker.
All comments are most welcome.
Cheers Newage
