Yesterday we went to a place.

I don`t know why or where this fascination originated but Mrs Esox is obsessed with WW1/2 historic sites, weird places of interest, obscure random buildings, pill boxes and the like - the more derelict the better. Last week it was Shepton Mallet jail!
Yesterdays adventure was down a near-1 mile underground tunnel near Bath (Farleigh Down) used for storing ammo during the last war - it might even be handy for the next war if it all goes nuclear fusion in the East....













The end:














I didn`t think much of the Waitrose down there, though..

Cool post.
Is it easy public access?

After all these years I've seen Mrs. EsoX, she's real!

Who's the trampy geezer you met down there?

Yeah it`s an easy find and the landowner is OK with allowing visiting explorers (apparently....)
The graffiti is pretty cool actually, them there aerosol dudes wiv de canz are quite talented, really.
A high power torch is essential.
Dunno who the weirdo was, he was muttering incoherent ramblings after a night of cheapo tramp piss cider by the look of it.

I liked the banana wiv spliff.

Nice that you can explore these places with the missus, gives a good reason for a ride.

Exactly!
I`ve always thought that a ride is much more enjoyable when you have a destination to aim for rather than just roaming radomly around, although that is sometimes good if you find somewhere new or back lanes where you`ve never been before.
I`m looking forward to spring summer where i can take her to her next big idea/place of interest and let her get on with it while i have a snooze in the sun, once you`ve seen one pill box you`ve seen ``em all! (`ooooh look - it`s a rare hexagonal one`......!)

Cool pics, sir Esox.

I've got a pillbox in the village here, you'll have to pop by later in the year.

I spotted a 'Think bike' on the wall there- find a can with a bit of paint left?

Nah, mine was the classic cock'n'balls (with jizz).

Good man.
