    Theres loads that you missed theres tunnels big enough for tanks, theres areas that had 2 big fires, theres tunnels that go up and down like rabbit holes, if you walk towards the hill closer to customs area,, you will find entrances on the slope. You'll find more tunnels than what you just explored.

    @andrewsaunders1796 10 месяцев назад +3

    I used to go to school here, up near the castle by the A2, next to Connaught and you wouldn't believe some of the crazy stuff I saw. Tunnels are everywhere in Dover, whether rail or military built. My old house in my school had tunnels that I saw that were said by an older pupil to link my old school to the castle so probably larger than these ones. Always wanted to go back and have a look but done my back in a few years ago and now I doubt I'd get in to the places you guys do but always wished that I had. If you ever find those tunnels, let me know as I never got the chance to explore them as my housemaster caught us.
    Cracking video though. Keep it up and if you're in South Wales any time, send me a message.

    Completely unrelated to the explore, I purchased a empty usb power bank where you would fill with 20 18650 batteries, it is quite heavy but if you need a long battery assistant that would be perfect, it would keep your lights and cameras charged for hours so no worries about going dark. Sorry for adding this but I thought I’d add. Also I’m trying to imagine what the noise would be like when it was fully functioning. Great place for getting lost lol
