That's the nuts that is...a true minefield!

The local area has lots thats slowly being bulldozed and hidden :-(, I've worked on the industrial estate in the top left of the picture for 20ish years and we originally worked out of the bunkers hidden into the hillside, we often have a shell or similar thats made its way up out of the soil and has to be disposed of

Looks amazing!

Heard rumours about this place before!
Looks like its well worth a visit to whoever treads lightly!

I wouldn't have put this in a public location if there are live shells in the area

Brilliant pictures

It does serve as a public warning though so no issue really, anyone looking at doing this place needs to understand the risks....I am really tempted but find the idea of pretty much walking through a minefield quite daunting!
