Alkham Auxiliary Unit WW2 Bunker

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you again for sharing your great adventures with us. Interesting stuff. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

[@derekmiller8917]

Superb viewing,thanks for showing. That summer of 1940 must have been a hell of a time to live through.

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

I had visions of that ending in an interment. Its easy to see how some people go for a walk and just disappear and nothing sinister about it. They simply fell down one of these places or an old well that's been forgotten about. Thanks for sharing.

[@ALWResearchTeam]

An interesting find! They were particularly good at hiding these operational bases

[@paulharvey7223]

Great explore! Trying to find a place is definitely part of the fun! 😀👍🏻

[@sampointau]

Oh and the antenna wire generally fed from the emergency escape tunnel end of the main room from memory, up a clay water pipe.

[@ghostseeker46]

Thanks for doing what you do and sharing forgotten history!

[@ExploringWithin]

There’s another one of these down in Salisbury that I went to (believe it’s the same), much better condition. Amazing what lays beneath us!

[@ToledoZombie]

Really enjoyed this one! I was out literally this time last year searching for one in South Devon. Eventually found it although the main area had collapsed

[@glennchuckie773]

That was awesome, such a shame it had collapsed, like you guys I wish these little gems would be preserved and maintained forever.. such an important part of our history, thanks for sharing this one 👌👍

[@SHEARMINATOR]

Yea really enjoyed this one Ian mate the spiders are far out again 😂 good find mate

[@IKS-Exploration]

Glad you enjoyed

[@wilfbm9067]

Great video folks, it always makes an explore more rewarding when you have to search for it!

[@VandashStumpedKnee]

3:47 Those are Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa' or corkscrew willows there is another called curly oak also a very interesting and pretty tree.

[@aspidistraelatior3363]

Alpine butterfly loop knots work well for improvised rope ladder - fixed loops and relatively easy to untie afterwards 👍

[@Dusty357]

Few years ago while looking at old maps with shelters on a found one of these bunkers at West Chevington Northumberland found two both all dug out by a jcb unfortunately, but it makes you wonder how many if any have been left untouched and forgotten about a no they are all Scotland as well , fascinating really especially all the kit that was used by them brave lads

[@neilthomas4407]

Great vlog as always folks! I remember as a child playing round an auxiliary unit in the woods where I lived in Wivelsfield Green. It consisted of an entrance tunnel,1 room with bed frames in and a vertical escape tunnel. Last time I visited some 30 years ago it had sadly caved in. Stay safe all,and great to see Chris' racing Transit back!

[@MerlinVI]

I met a snake once, It was curled up crying so i said wassup, it asked me if he was venomous and i said yes you are a very dangerous snake. He then broke down completely and said Oh no I just bit my tongue!!!!!!!

[@keeganbay3490]

Great little find! Those spiders an eggs are bit nasty lol Seems like you guys get to drive faster on your back roads than we do.

[@chrisstacey1984]

100% looks faster on film - i think we should do a vid to show sooner or later

[@keeganbay3490]

[@columbo7927]

Nice one fallas Thank you Ian

[@johnashford2892]

Hi Ian, big fan here from Sydney. If I can make a suggestion? Get some decent rope and harnesses and the skills to use them! I almost papped myself watching you go down that shaft. Other than that, helluva gem.

[@dickiedavies6870]

I agree def need harness/hats/gloves, good knots tho

[@dalesmithies9051]

Can't believe they stood on a rope.

[@bikerleo1966]

Use gloves like scuba diving gloves when decending or assending a rope they are the best gloves.

[@stemtm]

I think the Siders had gone into overtime with the amount of egg sacks that are down there lol

[@paintingsbyjamescooper4330]

Thank you for the video!

[@williamsimpson8115]

Have you boys tried using the National Library of Scotland mapping overlays … ?

[@SirMichael2u]

You guys need to invest in a couple of machetes to cut through the blackberry bushes and stinging nettles. This is one of the things I keep in my truck when I go fishing. I sometimes will make a bad cast instead of loosing a 10 or 15 dollar lure I will cut my way down to where the lure is and retrieve it

[@AJ-qn6gd]

Could be a problem in the U.K. if you get stopped by the police as it would be classed as an offensive weapon !

[@kernow..exp.]

We've discovered one near land's end be doing a film on it soon

[@dandesjardins2552]

Hey Ian and Chris long time no see hope all is good 👍.

[@markcantemail8018]

That HQ for a small Unit was well thought out if you consider the small amount of time used to plan for it . Thank you for the video .

[@six7529]

Quality 👍

[@jeffreybail353]

excellent vid and i havent even seen it yet. bytheway:::red mercury cannot be seen in a mirror.

[@stevethetiler4913]

Great stuff guys keep looking , are there any undiscovered places still waiting to be found do you think ?

[@IKS-Exploration]

Probably somewhere folk :)

[@dalesmithies9051]

Your rope packing up was 8/10.Your rope standing on it was 0/10.Great explore,bit tight for me.

Top video guys 👍😎

[@ninja_cheetos]

Great way to start the day!

[@ic3358]

Why hasn’t anyone made a film about this unit

[@andrewkiwi1]

When it was in operation you would have walked right past it and not seen it in the trees after a few months. I think a lot of this stuff you find didn't have a long life expectancy. It was just needed there and then so it was well made but not made to last any more than 5 years or so. A lot of work would have gone into that. Dig the holes, box it up and concrete it. Assemble the iron and fill it in. Set up the interior and stock it. Recontour the ground around it and on to the next one. And all of this done while trying to do it on the quiet.

[@IKS-Exploration]

Hard enough to find collapsed lol
