I only had a short time to get pics as person with the key only had 1 hour before having to return the keys so nothing of the underground bunker yet..
first bit you see as you come through main gate

A few nice bits still here as well,this was on the rear wall

I think this was the fire building behind the main building.

Then a quick run up the hill to see a rotor(I think thats what they are called)

all the building up here were very trashed by vandals and by seems of it metal thievs as a lot of drain tops were missing so anyone else who goes here watch where you tread especially over the grass..
if you cant wait that long look here for inside pics on the last permission visit.

there was another a bit further along the beach but i couldnt climb up and have a look as cliff side was almost vertical and no chance of coming over the top as this is where the school is,

this floor is more solid than it looked as there is metal grid under them rotten wooden bits.

Hope to be back here very soon along with key holder and get underground as there is a confirmed way in but my problem at the moment is lack of free time and when i am free the key holder isnt..

you need long exposures and light painting, or the ability to use flash well!

Good effort fella -I can see you were uber keen on this!
We usually recommend posting about 10 - 15 photos in a report - if you have more to share by all means add a link to your photo album at the end of your report.
Hope you manage to get into the bunkers! :thumb

Well done. A good torch will make things much easier, and safer. If you're going underground too i'd go with someone else.
