We Explore This ABANDONED Fort At Sea! Caught By The Tide!

[@MrMILZEY]

Good vid lads.That ladder looks a bit janky. Nice weather and scenery.Must have been a good day.

[@PleaseStop_this]

Thanks, guys. Took me back to the late 60's when I was a member of the Marine Cadets in Chatham. We had a weekend on a fort in the River Medway. Long time ago now...😢

[@garypollentine194]

Finally more people with common sense yes the earth isn’t flat well done guys I did enjoy your tour of the Second World War defence it did remind me of when I was younger and able we used to go off exploring all the time I’m not able any more due to my age 66 so keep it up visit as many as you can while your young and able take care guys thank you

[@ExploringWithin]

Thanks glad you enjoyed! If you want to see more like this, I do have a playlist on the channel for bunkers and WW2 stuff.

[@shaunwest3612]

Great video, similar to the Solent forts, except smaller,looks like some bit were added during ww2👍

[@ExploringWithin]

Yeah quite similar. I did the solent ones too - videos on the channel for those

[@stevestheboy1]

brilliant vid guys that saves me and missus doin it lol u got another sub

[@ExploringWithin]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Bexxadventure]

Happy swimming 😍😂 that’s made me wonder if it’ll be there forever or one day somehow be torn down.. so it’s cool to see! Thanks Steve!!

[@ExploringWithin]

@@Bexxadventure that’ll be the forever definitely 💯

[@Tomo-hb2tq]

It’s just been brought and it will be too hard to take it down so it will stay there cos how can u take it down it will take too long cos can only take it down in when it’s low tide cos it will be too dangerous to take it down when there’s boats next to it cos the sea can just change so fast

[@glasvirgin]

Flat earth. I don’t care if the earth is flat, round or a cuboid, it’s our home and we have to make the best of it. Great video guys. 🧡

[@robinwells8879]

Could still make a not uninteresting boutique hotel out of that to preserve it. Check in and check out times might need to be a bit flexible unless they did hovercraft transfers!😂

[@tomthumb6824]

Good explore Steve,

[@MiniLemmy]

Reminds me of Sully Island in South Wales in that it’s completely cut off from the mainland when the tide comes in! Would make for a great camp location….

[@paulvamos7319]

Thank you for the revisit of this awesome fort! 😊

[@ExploringWithin]

Not a revisit - first time there 😆👍

[@robertmills6497]

The address is Number 1,The Thames How cool is that?

[@jamesbaker9744]

Nice video you made there guys what a place that is my god

[@petrolhead28]

Love the message on the stairs

[@ianhill4585]

A graffiti vandal, being critical of others? Hilarious.😅

[@jwoodzman]

RNLI - AWESOME Team of Professional Volunteer’s! 💥👍🏻

[@stupididiot6116]

…..now an illegal immigrant taxi service

[@sharonleong7120]

Great and interesting content. I love it once again. Thanks Steve. 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@ExploringWithin]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@JacksinUk]

great video

[@chrisrich152]

Keep it up geeza.... England!!

[@paulsroka3338]

Taxi service ..... 🤭😅🤣😂 .... if you know, you know.

[@ExploringWithin]

Exactly right 😂👍

[@terrywilkins5266]

Definitely a taxi service. Border farce pick them up and the RNLI taxi service takes them off to bring them in. My annual donation finished three years ago.

[@Zero_Reaper13]

I'd love to have one for my holiday home

[@Hbinky]

"Not happy. But ah well it's part of the fun"🤣

[@BURTOKOK]

The "Goods elevator" is probably a munitions lift from the magazine in or near the basement

[@ExploringWithin]

@@BURTOKOK yeah 👍

[@BaronFlyingClub]

I think it would be a cool video to camp out there for a few tides in the summer..

[@Tomo-hb2tq]

There is vids of ppl camping out there but the thing is tho when the tide comes in your stuck there till it goes out so ur taking about 12 hours

[@neilsbs8273]

Tides tip 101. Tides go up and down in stages. Its is called the rule of twelths. Now best guestimate there are about 6hrs and 20 mins between low and high tide. Lets call it 6 hrs to make it easy. When you look at tides you will see some heights next to them so for instance Low Water 09:00 1.0m High water 15:00 4.0m so.... the difference is 3 m (High water minus Low water.) The reason the tide appeared to rush in was you were probably in the middle of the tide when its fastest. Using the figures above it will relate something like this 0900 Low Tide 1000 1/12th of the tide or 1/12th of 3m = 0.25m 1100 2/12ths of the tide or 2/12ths of 3m = 0.5m 1200 3/12ths of the tide or 3/12ths of 3m = 0.75m 1300 3/12ths of the tide = 0.75m 1400 2/12ths = 0.5m 1500 1/12th = 0.25 As you can see the period 3hrs and 4hrs after low water the tide comes in quickest which is probably where you got wet feet. Good job on getting off when you did, another 30 mins and you may have been wading. Good video too. Thanks.

[@ExploringWithin]

Interesting insight thanks for the details. Definitely glad we left when we did otherwise definitely a different story! Thanks for watching

[@swanseamale47]

I'd love to own a place like this.

[@grateberk6435]

Must have been a job to get that chain around it.

[@JDMJOE]

Taxi service 😂😂😂

[@Sunshinebeauty56]

Wow that is an interesting place, great video ❤

[@ExploringWithin]

Thanks 🙏

[@DRSEXPLORING]

[@tent7014]

Its not true the writing on the Fort's concrete stairs is it ??

[@ExploringWithin]

@@tent7014 some of them are 👍

[@horyzengaming3935]

When I was a teenager we used to have raves and parties on the tower. We used to time it so the tide come in so the police could not get to us. This tower played a big part in our experimenting of LSD in the early 90's. We had an acid party that lasted two weeks on that tower. A hell of a lot of sex went on and in that tower. Good memories. I have a total different view of that tower than what most people have lol.

[@keithhitchings8911]

I live on sheppey and can see the Fort. Why do you keep on saying elevater are u a yank it is a goods lift. The last time I saw the grain Fort on youtube it was not covered In graffiti like that. I wonder who the new owner is.

[@ianhill4585]

The irony of a graffiti vandal calling you tubers pr#£ks is not lost on me, self reflection is clearly not a " thing" in that( red) neck of the woods!? 😁

[@oobenoob]

Shame about the RNLI comment. Good video otherwise.

[@nigelfarley814]

The RNLI are saving those in peril on the sea for whatever reason. They do not offer a taxi service.

[@ExploringWithin]

@@nigelfarley814 The people that purposely set off on a dangerous journey from a ‘safe country’ (France) within the EU you mean? Yeah makes total sense!

[@nigelfarley814]

@@ExploringWithin Are we talking about these so called ‘illegal’ immigrants here? People set off on all sorts of dangerous journeys every day. How would you like it if you had a car crash and when you got to hospital they said ‘tough, driving a car is dangerous so we’re not treating you’. Did you vote Reform by any chance at the last election?

[@oml81mm]

The task of the RNLI is to save life, even if those who risk their lives are stupid and inconsiderate.

[@ExploringWithin]

@@oml81mm Yeah not saying that isn’t true, but they are still acting as a taxi service picking people up when they’re not even in immediate danger! Obviously if they are blatantly sinking that’s a different story.

[@So-Allegedly]

@@ExploringWithin I have to say it's NOT a taxi service, It's the R.N.L.I...... Really. Nice. lift. In. service. If you don't mind. 😂🤣😂
