fort

This fort was one of the many fortifications of fort from around 1870, it was used for WW1. I am by no means an expert so I am not sure what I saw, but in one of the rooms I had the impression it was a sort of execution room. There were channels in the floor that to me appeared to guide blood...

The Sieging of the Forts - Part One - Haile Sand Fort - September 2018 I'd like to say that I'm never quite sure how I end up on such crazy escapades, but the truth is I'm married to Bigjobs, so crazy escapades suddenly being sprung on me shouldn't come as any surprise. This little adventure...

The infantry base Wolfsberg is a small part of the bigger fortress Kellermann, part of the "Group Fortification Lorraine". It was built in 1904 - 1906.   Visited with @The_Raw, @extreme_ironing & @Maniac.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10...

I've been looking at getting up here and doing this since 2012, when I was living in Southend at the time. Through the madness of jumping about between counties and jobs, I never got round to it and it just sat on my list for years. When my mate started talking about it, I decided to YOLO it and...

24 hours in a derp! Shout outs and thanks to Konrad and his old man on this one :D Yet again another explore and overnighter that's been bouncing around in conversation for a long time! Me and Konrad were determined to do another camp out on a site and end the summer with a bit of a bang. We...

Built in the 1860s, Cliffe Fort was designed to protect the Thames from invasion. It was armed with 12.5-inch 38-ton and 11-inch 25-ton rifled muzzle-loading guns. Protection of these guns was provided by granite-faced casemates with shields for added defence. The shields, casemates and the...

After having checked out 4 local places and our Hotel in Disneyland, a run in with the police and a sealed monastery, I just knew it was time to go and have fun with the family and go have a look at some easy to access bits and bobs. This was my 1st time abroad and had planed on doing plenty...

A long overdue report from me, it's been a while, been having some time off exploring to do other things. However, an opportunity to go and explore this place presented itself the other day, it was too good not to go really. Fort Darnet is one of a pair of forts that were built in the 1800's...

Fort Burgoyne was completed in 1890 and was one of the Palmerston Forts built to protect Dover from both sea and inland attacks from the French. It is joined to the former Connaught Barracks which was used until recently. Now there are plans underway to develop Connaught into housing. We hit...

Gilkicker Fort. First explore of the day turned out to be a failure, but I had a back up! And what a beauty it is. I love this place. Can't wait for next time. Didn't spend long in here before alarms went off. Shame really, but I know better now. Fort Gilkicker was built between 1863 and 1869...

Was fine weather today, figured to visit it. At first I wasn't sure about going alone, considering it's more or less in the middle of Liege. Expected shady folks, but all I found were a bunch of other photographers, people walking their dogs, and a large bunch of wanna-be Jamaiquans filming a...

Fort Burgoyne well where to start. Attempted this one a few months back with no luck just wandered around in the dark for a few hours trying to get down into the moat. Anyway we gave up and i decided it was time for another go. So with the assistance of my brother in law Andy( he has yet to be...

Grain fort is one of many forts built along the kent coast mainly during the napoleonic wars of the 1800's, but lots of them were also used as gun emplacements in WW2, and like most of them it's days as a functioning military post were over as the war ended. Grain was actually demolished and...
