Have been scouring Portsdown Hill for the Fuel dump tunnels and found this, anyone know what they are,:confused:

Wow, yep they're massive tunnel entrances :)

As seen on another mapping website: Hope this makes them clearer :)

An actual location would be useful too else you're expecting people to recognise them by sight alone...

Never mind, its the southern portal of the fuel bunkers.

Took me about 2 minutes to find on google and I know nothing about the place...



Yes thats where I saw them , I was tring to find them, confirmed now.

Also found tunnels to the right of them which was a old WW2 radio station, accesible up a 40' chalk slope.

will have a nosey and take pic's later :)

I know about the radio station already, but is it actually possible to get into those fuel dump bunkers? I've not heard much about them!
 
Will have a look when we do the Radio station, from google map it looks pretty well fenced off:(

They are not far apart. :)

Judging by the photos on that website I posted it doesn't look very promising! Official secrets act and MoD signs all over the place...
 
There is one set of tunnels that are accessable - apparently this was a secret Royal Navy bunker during WWII. The site is now used as an airsoft skirmishing site, but the airsoft organisers are also very much aware of the history of the site, and offer tours. It is really quite big - and said to be haunted! (Aren't they all?!) :lol:

Yeah I don't fancy your chances of getting in there, but here's the radio station that you talk of...
