Hidden amongst a mass of Epilobium (Yon tall pink fluffy things)
Had one of the golf course greenkeepers give me the history of it over the 25 years he has worked there, welded shut to keep underage drinkers out.

Is welding shut/tampering with military property legal?

Is welding shut/tampering with military property legal?

I imagine so but it happens a lot,
the lad never said who welded it but a crowbar could easily open it.
I threw out my black mask and striped jumper so no disguise left to do it.
All items inside were removed at some point.

I've an M.O.D. marked Hi-Vis vest that might come in handy when I visit the local ones.

The scythe and cloak might give you away

Welded but only in two inches long welds

but I'm sure with a crowbar and bolt cutters (and the T key/long screwdriver) you could get in.
I'm surprised the local neds haven't attempted it.
Be minging inside, I guess.

There is a restored one down the coast, they have open days(or did) so might keep an eye out.

@Drago , nice thread title edit...



When did that happen?

 

[Drago]

About an hour ago matey.

I really am chuffed that this thread is not only getting people on their bikes, but its getting them to explore their surroundings and take an interest in the history of their land

 

[PeteXXX]

I thought I'd not noticed it before, but I'm not always the most observant bod!
Yes, it adds another dimension to rides and walks

 

[Tim Hall]

Regarding ROC posts, there's a restored one down this way (Sussex) that has open days every now and then. There's also the remains of a WWII Auxiliary Units bunker at Shipley. I'll have another visit and get some pictures.

Would that be the Shipley of triangular station fame?

I've no idea. It has a windmill that Hilaire Belloc used to live in, if that's any good.

(Googling says the triangular station is in Yorkshire. I'm talking about a place in Sussex.)
