Just a thought - a trick I used when going into semi-flooded mine adits - take a 5ft length of rebar with you to prod the ground under the water. It saved me from many nasty, unwanted swims and it can also be used to push debris out of the way.
This is pretty cool to see. Have you considered a diving dry-suit? They're similar to wet-suits but use body-clinging rubber or latex or the like to separate your skin from the water. Should be easier to move around and on top of that they'd come up to your neck so that if the water got really deep you wouldn't have to worry about the water pouring into the top of your waders.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. It's sad how they leave historic places of importance to the elements. From the looks of it, it may have flooded every time it rained.
Good idea to take a walking Pole next time you're in water to test your footing .
Great video guy's .
Just love them .
KEEP up the great work 👍
I was about to post the same thing. some kind of staff would be very cool.
That's exactly what me and a friend did when we was down there...we were told there are multiple levels going down and didn't want to end up snagged in a hole or rotten starecase....
I was thinking that too but i don't think he has enough hands to make that work. 1 hand for flashlight. 1 hand for camera. 1 hand for stick.
@@wer4t4t
I always use a head torch .
He could fit a light on the camera as other RUclips people do .
That leaves one hand for the stick .👍
@@Paul-pb3vq That is a possibility. Seems like with his current setup he is utilizing both hands already though. Might be worth reconsidering his entire setup though for a stick.
Nice one. I suggest a staff to find obstacles/ holes before your feet do and a gas monitor since you were inhaling methane in restricted spaces. Wouldnt want you to pass out and drown
what a waste of a very interesting place historic places like this should not be left to rot or be demolished.
great vid
It is a real shame... it's on private property and the owner has no interest in history and no intentions of trying to save it either get there before it's to late I say ...
What an amazing place. Clearly well constructed and built to last, but at the same time really complicated and 'maze-like'. Fantastic explore vid. Thanks for posting.
Great explore guys, thanks for putting up with the water so we could see the lower level.
'S'about nut height'
Brilliant
Top job as always! Thanks for the effort, appreciate it! 👍🏻
the crazy part is... someone had to build that stuff
Great 2nd part, man.
So interesting to see how well preserved some things are & aren't.
Always looking forward to more.
A small rubber raft or Kayak Would have worked well down there.
Thanks for taking the time to do this, always wondered what was under there only ever been on the outside
Excellent job as always 👍
Interesting explore and nicely done as usual.I only got to explore the flooded level and tunnels to the magazine from about 14.00 onwards.It got gradually deeper so I went as far as I could in thigh length waders before having to turn back.
Great video as always 👍🏼
Bring a long stick / prod with you for this kind of wader exploration.
Really useful for feeling your path along through the water, you really don't want to fall through a hole or stumble over something.
Fantastic! If that was in the US, the fort would be a tourist attraction people have to pay to see, and all the tunnels would be off limits to everyone. What a cool place!
I found your channel awhile back and kinda fell off and didn't see a lot of your videos lately. I have been playing catch up on random videos the last few months. This one and the 1st one on the top level is by far the best video I have seen of yours. I am from the US and I am not near anything like this although I am near an abandon subway system. I have thought about getting into filming my exploring. Quite a few interesting places but nothing compared to this. I usually explore outdoor places. Can't wait to see more!
Sketchy but very cool! Thanks guys!
Yet another great Vid. Keep safe guys.
Congratulations! The first ever RUclips video that's made me feel queasy! Blurreerrgh!
Nice explore.should have anchored at the base of that rail instead of the top.just a wee bit safer that way as the rail could have folded like a cheap suit.
nickel mickel I was thinking the exact same.. why not use that which is ment to be anchored in the stone..?
Great video thanks guys
Cool second part loved this place
Best one yet!
I’m surprised it’s not been suggested already but you should get a pole to check for holes.
I’d also be ready to swing it
Very interesting exploration. Also I likes you comment on how deep the water was. Three thumbs up.
Wow not been there for a long time ....many happy summer's at cliffe fort exploring and shorne fort just a couple of miles up the Thames I'm sure you can still get in the flooded tunnels there too....
You think they would dig a ditch to drain the water away from the fort.
Great video guys thanks so much for your hard work 😀
Awesome video👍👍👍
Great vid. Stay safe.
Both great video & explore guys. Suggest probing ahead as you walk with a pole in water! 👍
You are off your heads, but Thanks for doing it!!
Wow great video
That was right nasty - & quite interesting! Yr willingness to go the xtra mile for sake of exploration, curiosity as to what's around that next turn, regardless of what u must go dn, climb over, or navigate across to discover it, makes for some quality armchair adventures on this end. Comforting to know that, no matter how many times I say, "Ew!" out loud, u'll still show me where the funkiest of tunnels leads. I get all the fun w/o the stink, & don't hafta disinfect my waders later! Fun channel. Cheers!
Finally no ungodly graffiti to look at. Good job on the tunnels guys!
A great second part, and i am pleased not too have smellovision lol longtime standing water smells very bad. Very interesting explore thnx.
Perfect location for kayaking
awesome, greetings from Costa Rica, nice adventure and exploring are the best.
Greeting to you in Costa Rica!
nice drone shots
Good day mate another existing sub exploration existed to be here
We dont want sub exploration to get sucked through a hole and go into another dimension.
@fred
LOL
Luke Sub Exploration. May the force be with you.
its like the scene from starwars in trash compactor ....lol
Hi Simon, at 14:55 you missed a set of steps to your left. A shame it's so flooded but still a great explore with a few remnants left behind. Cool, thanks for sharing. x
Ahh yes, they lead up to a small lighting platform. The magazines had one each.
@@SubExploration Cool, thanks x
I suggest floaty-cam A car innertube with a round wooden "deck" with a camera lights and battery. Shove it along with a stick.
Great stuff as always lads 🇮🇪 🦔
Great video & explore, thanks guys. Are there not building plans of some sort ?
Being military the plans (if any) never went public
Really nice and interesting video, one of the times we're glad not to have smell-O-vision Haha, it would be interesting to know what is under all that water.
Very good
Excellent part two, what's next
Crazy!
Nice Video, very interesting m8......thumbs up......greatings from Germany :-)
Greeting to you in Germany!
@@SubExploration thx m8....cheers :-)
"Its about nut high" Haha brilliant that made me laugh but excellent work as always guys and thanks for part 2 and sticking to your words not many people do that!!!!
We try 😉
RUclipsr: smells like farts
*Dies from excess sulphur inhalation*
Well hydrogen sulphide anyway 😊
Glad Badgers cig did not light of the methane from that first hole lmao!
@@mileshigh1321 Methane is odourless
Qué lugar! Parece espacio virtual de videojuegos...muy bueno!!
Gracias por ver
Forts often had zig zag and confusing layouts as we learned that from fighting the raja in India where infiltrating enemy unable to work out the layout of a fort could be harried with comparative ease by quite a small force and many a time a successful breach would turn into a decimating rout simply because the layout was unknown. Some of the Indian's forts were nasty and gave Wellington more than just a headache and the "butcher's apron" earned a lot of its red just taking down the various provincial Indian princes redoubts which were some incredibly strong but built in mind of simple cannon at best, the British artillery utilising huge mortars and howitzers were merciless, combined with mines under glacis walls and Cliffe was built with that expertise in mind making it very hard to shell, almost impossible to mine yet allowed vast swathes of kill zones from the protected ramparts. Just the construction alone prob made the French think twice as all along the Thames were similar structures making it almost impossible for the French to land anything remotely near London or the South Coast and in between the forts would be the Deptford and Chatham built Channel Fleet frigates which the French feared more than our ship of the line, our frigates were our secret weapon.
My mate & I wanted to explore all the lower bits buts don't have chesties yet aha it's all so amazing down there ahha
This is 👍
All we have in Australia is spiders, snakes, and sharks.
Your videos are great .
If you show me a fascinating place like this when I visit, I’ll show you a giant deadly taipan.
Thanks for the vids mate!
Deal
fascinating, any chance of knocking a few holes and draining it?, would be fun, J.
Don't use the word awesome but that was proper Awesome! Made me nervous as hell looking at all that crap in the water. Like so many have already said I wish you had used a pole to feel your way through the crap. Having said that, Great video 🤙
What camera are you using for filming this? It gives pretty good results.
DJI Osmo Pocket for this one.
Surprised there is so much large debris all over. Usually it's just where things are tipped in from above... Well worth the hazards though, good work!
That water stinks anyway I can’t imagine how bad it must be stirred up! Strange how no graffiti and numbered casemates like Shornemead. Enjoyed this one, love this place 👍🏻
Do you ever take a pole of sorts to probe the floor under the water to check for holes or pits? Be a lot safer than just wading and hoping no holes anywhere etc.
Be going here on weekend lad
What camera and lens are you using?
This video was shot on an Osmo Pocket but we have a Nikon D3200 with a selection of lenses for other uses.
When this was in use did they have pumps running so it didn’t flood or the water just seeped in over time?
Sea level will have changed a bit too...
The water just seeped in over time. There's other bits below ground level too. about 30 years ago it was all dry except the lower levels and a tunnel that sloped down into water. I never had waders back then or I would have gone down it.
Dogleg ahhh i see thank you very much for the information mate 👍
Scary
Great video! Watch out for eggy gas though, could Hydrogen sulfide
That room with the rack on the wall from around 7:31 looks like it's a lot newer and pretty strongly reinforced to boot. Could there possibly have been multiple racks along the wall, that might've held ropes to retain shells stored on-end as a magazine?
Solid and the difference between a rock and the other two will be there at work today but I often wonder what time do you want me to get a to go box and the other is a great opportunity to be part of your store is open for the month what I have a few questions regarding the process of trying to find a way I can get it twice
Would the depth of water be different according to whether the tide was in or out?
Sestra Prior Good question🤔
It looks like some of those rooms may have been barracks for the garrison with the fixtures on the walls were situated.
Was there someone in front of u at 18.10 seen someone go around the corner at the bottom .
Hah! I recognise that hole and railing from your “how to descend and ascend” video... I was wondering where you’d shot that! Nice to see the lower levels fellas, but you ought to get yourselves a gas detector at some point, I reckon!
If there was a way to drain all the water, I can't imagine what more could be found!
IKS just got a fishing magnet, maybe he could lend it to us 😂
Why not use a wading stick , you can probe about to find holes etc .
302 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS
Greeting to you in Texas!
You'd wanna make sure that piece of iron the rope is over isn't rusted. But thanks for getting wet. Really interesting.
A lot of work to build that when ever it was built ,,, looks very old to ,,!! With rebar get (wise,up )to look at it he will know ,,,!!
Yep. a walking pole is a good idea, but maybe a canoe too!
pretty hard to sneak in a canoe tho..
Looks like they used to make things down there out the way of prying eyes ,,but WHAT,, !!
a kayak would make it fun...
How got inside??
Incroyable
Right thru my email address is a good time to come by and see you soon and have a great day and a half to be made in the USA and Canada is that ok or do you have a great opportunity for me to pick it up and it was so good to see you guys again soon to be made out to the car
@@darralnolan5792 what are you talking about ?
@@marsaeolus9248 is there anyway I can fly out on the way back from the cheese conference in Geneva on Sunday evening we may need the feetman
@@darralnolan5792 yes there is a way
It's nearly as identical as the shornemead 1s
You could just use ladder,they are light to carry around.
Hey badger, slow down lol 😁 (assuming that's you flying)
When wading i would use a stick like a blind person to prod ahead to check where your walking and maybe wear scuba clothes to protect yourself from cold and rhe water and be able to lift anything up from under the water like tyres so you don't have to walk though them agin on the way out. :-)
Would a GoPro and a waterproof touch on a pole not be a option I’d love to know what lies under the water
at about 6 min and just after in looks like a figure drawn on the wall on the left hand side or it might be just my poor eye sight
❤️

Should rig up pumps
Why would they build this tunnel network what's it really for I don't think it's got nothing to do with War more the thing that strikes my mind is dungeons were they used to keep people captive years ago
Love the video but why is this place not a museum.
At 23.12 that is a male thread for a fire hose which is just bent.
