[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks, it was used during the Cold War with Russia to monitor nuclear radiation.

[@GhostTheory]

Cool to see both of you together.. we should come up and do something :D

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

That sounds like an awesome idea

[@LEWISWATSONVLOGS1]

Hey robby man. Nice clips bud. T'was a cool wee explore indeed. I know you have tagged me on Facebook but I will also share it for your click through rate bud. Liked for you matey. If it wasn't for your wee saviour of a torch.. We would have been doomed haha

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks bud, my first video with some commentary 😊

Those bunkers are incredible. They look so solidly made. And yeah, it also looked pretty disgusting down there lol. (Hi Lewis).

[@LEWISWATSONVLOGS1]

Hey michele haha

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks Michèle, they are fairly solid, mass produced concrete boxes. An the water was black, didn't fancy falling in 😁

@@LEWISWATSONVLOGS1 hehe

@@RobsUrbanExploring Yuck!

[@Tailracehero]

Lewis! I thought you may have 'bailed' it out and cleaned it up a bit! Like 2

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Lol il make sure he does next time 😁

[@LEWISWATSONVLOGS1]

Alan! Haha

[@killingloneleyness01]

hi where about is this, :D theres a group of us enjoying history and would love to visit

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Hi thanks for watching. Looking at your channel I presume you know the borders fairly well. The bunker is between Ashkirk and Hawick. As you climb out of Ashkirk on the a7 the road goes straight an has those hidden dips. It's the highest point on the road. As you drive along there is a turning on the left and it's about 100 yards up the hill. There is a website called subbrit. If you search on there it will give you a small map that might help. Any more questions just ask. An happy exploring 😁

@@RobsUrbanExploring hi thanx , yeh from the borders do every ride out, gutted there was none this year, but it cant be helped, do u know if the newtown bunker has been filled?

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

@@killingloneleyness01 I'm not sure, I met the land owner at Old Melrose a couple of months ago. He was asking about it as I knew more than him. He said he covered it up before but it keeps collapsing in. He did say he would have to do it again for insurance purposes. Only way to know is to have a look. I do know that the one in Earlston has been filled in.

Beautiful places The same in my Provence So Scary Ashkirk Roc Take care freind What you find inside the wall

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks im pleased you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Urbexy]

Always worth having a look in these places. That one apart from the flooding looked to be in fair condition.

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks, i was quite surprised seen as the hatch was missing. Looking at the photos on subbrit there was everything in it in 2002.

[@ExploringwithCarl]

Oh wow ive never seen one with a fuel store before. Cool stuff. I love visiting roc post you never know what's going to be down there 15 thumbs up for you 😁👍

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks Carl, yeah they are all a bit different. Especially condition 😁. I wouldn't have known about the fuel dump either if it wasn't for the subbrit site.

[@gar3th27]

[@richdiscoveries]

That was pretty cool, nice find!!

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks 🙂, i keep meaning to catch up on your vids iv got them in my watch later list. I love the snow 😁

[@richdiscoveries]

@@RobsUrbanExploring its nothing crazy exciting lately. Unfortunately winter is the hardest time for me to get out exploring, just have too much going on this time of year. But I have a few explores and even a few local collabs lined up for spring time!!

[@ExploringWithCF]

Not at all in the worst shape I've seen m8, cool someone didn't want it vandalized.

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Sorry for the late reply I'm playing catch-up 😁. I was quite surprised it wasn't completely flooded, especially with the top off. My latest one has everything in it

[@ExploringWithCF]

@@RobsUrbanExploring cool m8 I will try to check it out soon. No worries on the reply delay man it's tough to keep up with everything.

[@Sorme1001]

Nice little vid. Not noticed one of those little fuel stores before, will have to keep a closer eye out.

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Thanks, neither have I but it was mentioned on the subbrit site so I thought I would have a rake about in the long grass.

[@KIRBZVIDS]

Its a shame its flooded i gess the only way thay can flood is becuse peole ripp the hatch doors off

[@RobsUrbanExploring]

Welcome to my channel il make sure to check out yours too. Most of them are usually flooded. Its not so much the hatch but it can come up through the floor, its a design problem the were fitted with hand pumps next to the ladder to help solve the problem. Im pleased you enjoyed it 🙂

[@KIRBZVIDS]
