Royal Marines Deep Refuge, Kent - Oct 2016

Finally got round to seeing this, it mostly got unprioritised under more prioritisable places along with other lame excuses. ​

Not too much info is available about this set of tunnels but it's known to have been used as a refuge by the Royal Marines. There are two levels to the tunnels, the lower a refuge/sleeping area and the upper a casualty clearing station for the nearby hospital. Also noted associated offices, first aid and toilet areas and plant/machinery rooms.​

I love that it is free from graff and the usual chavtastic trashing of places such as this, and that the benches are still hanging on their chains, not that I was willing to try them out given the state of the remaining rotting wood features and stairs in here.​

The brazen entrance route is probably mostly the reason for this place being in such good condition.​

Explored one fine weeknight with non member TheLocksmithman. (Thanks for joining me bro, and if you read this I hope the fingers are ok..)​

7 The stairs between the two levels - ropey to say the least but ok if you stuck to the railings, as were the stairs down from the entrance in the next pic.​

Thoroughly enjoyed it in here, despite having life threatening woman flu.​

Nice one, great set of pics. 

As it appears to be open again I should get my backside down there really before someone puts a lock on it again.
