I fancy something bigger...

Secret Norwegian submarine base on the market for £11m (but you will need your own sub) (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2157115/Bond-super-villain-yard-sale-Secret-Norwegian-submarine-base-market-11m-need-sub.html#ixzz25aNFHpCD)

Not really surprising... the place names give away the reasons......crosland moor, blackmoorfoot lots of peaty, boggy soil :D

That's the one I'd choose. It's about 4 hours from my house, and less than an hour to get to the High Peaks in the Adirondack Mountains.
If you want to check it out in a mapping program the coordinates are: 44.60117,-73.856632

[fish]

The one nearest me appears to have been surrounded by affordable housing, if only they knew ;)

I think a prerequisite of any subterranean lair is a self contained mono rail. So whilst both of the latter sites have promise, if there respective vendors were not prepared to lower the price to allow for the cost of installing such an essential lair accessory, I'm afraid I would have to give them a miss.

Oh and a shark/piranha aquarium directly beneath the main meeting room and extending into the cavernous ante chamber, it is a bit like the lair equivalent of a conservatory with double glazed windows, not essential in itself, but it would definitely help clinch a sale.

Not setting yer sights to high then !! hehe! :D

Well the one near us is still there. Looks like somebody has been in and out of it recently too, all the vegetation had been trampled around it..
I forgot to take a torch, so I didn't go in.

There are still undiscovered and/or forgotten "stay behind" posts that were made for the Auxilliers during the last unpleasantness

For example, when the new part of the A3 was being pushed through from Petersfield to Portsmouth at the part that runs by Queen Elizabeth Country Park the contractors were using Bulldozers, Rippers, Scrapers and other assorted big boyz toyz

There were a couple of old chaps watching with great interest. They were approached by a couple of Engineers who asked them if they were that interested.
They replied that they were just waiting for the bang

"What do you mean?" they were asked "We know that this was used by the Canadians as a practise mortar range and that all they used were smoke bombs"

"That's not what we're waiting for came the reply from the two jolly old coves "There was a stay behind post here"

Not unreasonably the engineers did not know what a stay behind post was.

The two old chaps then showed them where it was and what it contained. There were Mills bombs, guncotton slabs, some very unstable gelignite, detonators and other other assorted warry things.

Blind panic, site shut down, Mr Plod, The Army EOD, the Navy bods, Uncle Tom Cobbley veveryone and his brother who might have an interest in clearing the place up :)

- and there are other posts still out there as they weren't all cleared away. So be careful where you light that fire :)

Also, if you're on holiday in Suffolk the Museum of Resistance is worth a look - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_Units

Stuff from WWII turn up all the time here as well. Everything from bombs to mines. Specially up in Finnmark where the northern front was. But also around the Mountains of Narvik. And then there was all the stuff that was just burried and forgotten.

[Silverback]

I have been involved in several EOD jobs in the last 6 years stemming from various sizes of UXO turning up on once remote moorland that now is easily accessible combined with 70 years of peat erosion :D

I would love to be able get one of them.

hello,
Error with original posting of images. (I'll try again..) :oops:
I own 1.
A few images of the empty Post/Minitoring Room. Certainly
has potential houses 3-4 comfortably. With batteries & the
Petrol Electric Set (Generator) for lighting etc.. a cooker/kettle can be
powered from such too :wink:
Remember ask owners permission to visit first, visits can be arranged,
take only photo's, leave only your comments in visitors book.
Most refurbished Posts 'do not' have any items
stored within. A number have been vandalised in recent years, set on fire,
souvenirs removed in the process :oops:

Looks like my first bedsit in London, but better furnished and a lot bigger!

Nice little hidey hole you have there David, thanks for sharing T^

[David_JAFO]

hello,
"Looks like my first bedsit in London, but better furnished and a lot bigger!"
You haven't seen what I charge in rent have you..LMAO :evilgrin:
Just giving you an idea of the inner sanctum. You certainly don't
want to be claustrophobic especially when the hatch closes.
Got potential for hammock(s) requires support structure batons
in place of the double/single bunks, as drilling into the walls are a deffo 'no no'
due to geo location dug into clay can cause leaks, believe you me they're
not long filling up I can tell you :oops:
Can be bailed out manually bucket & rope or via the 'sump pump.'
Well you wouldn't drill the inner walls of a Submarine would you..:shocked:
There's a few up here North of The Border fully refurbished in
original working order kind of Cold War Museums, two are owned by the
former Crew, the other person known to I. Apart from my Post there's 1 other
that would be perfect for a BushMoot due to the ideal Geo Location further North.
Hope to during 2013 'WIP' a Cold War monument in recognition of those
who did Cold War Service Post WWII until 1991 HM Armed Forces got
permission etc.. just the plate/monument/funding to work out what's
going into place near to the Post.
Regards
David

used to work in them.

[David_JAFO]

hello,
This one's worth the visit http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/york-cold-war-bunker/
just a pity most of the Control rooms HQ's were demolished complete with own power source/back up
generator, multi rooms, toilet facilities etc..
Hi Tigger!

hello,
Have a browse at this The Grandaddy of All Underground Storage
Areas file (.pdf) from US Prepper mate. :wink:

Well as all SWW customers know they are a pack of robbing (insert expletive) that doesn't surprise me..:D

[bigpaul]

interesting "property" though, would need to be pumped out and sealed first but could make a good hidey hole.
