Visited last night with Pace.

This was to become our most successfull urbex evening of 2010 after the last two failed visits in January.

During the Second World War this cavern was used as a store for more than 11000 tons of bombs, including the famous 'Bouncing Bombs' used by the 'Dambusters' in their raid on the Ruhr valley. 30 years ago the cavern then became a military museum and used to house one of the largest collections of historic military equipment in Britain, in 2.5 acres of disused limestone workings 100ft below ground. Displays ranged from a First World War trench to a section on the Falklands campaign. The imaginative venture was the brainchild of military enthusiasts Tony Pearce, of Sychdyn, and Bob Answell, of Mynydd Isa.

A pano to give you an idea of the scale of the place



We had a stroll round to start with. This shot was looking back towards the main entrance.

A top night last night. Very satifying after a few failed explorer recently.
