What have you found while off roading?

We found a nuclear bunker in Dunmow when Geocache / Greenlaning aka Geolaning recently that is a damn site more secret than the secret Nuclear Bunker near Kelvedon that is now a tourist attraction!

It's only ickle, just a room which had a telephone on the wall that they could phone London on to tell them of the impending doom!

Here's a photo from the web - I wish I took some as it was quite exciting going down there!

It's funny what you find and then learn about!

There are 2 of them around Dunmow which were recently sold by the Ministry of Information for £22k each to some company for storage but then they changed their minds and got shot too but I don't know who owns them now but this one is unlocked and accessible.

I know where to go if there is a threat of bother in that respect, not that I'll last long in that hole!

Did as directed and thought there was nothing there when a head appeared out of the ground and scared the crap out of me.

Awesome, I bet he never tired of doing that to people!
