Ive passed this place so many times going to waddo etc but never had a look.

So it had to be done!!!

There quite a bit left of the base but we stayed mainly around the tower.

There is writing on the floor saying 'Welcome to hell house' They've obviously never worked at our place. Also there is 'PUSSY' written all over the walls but no cats were about :rolleyes:

There was 2 of these, at first I thought they were Pill boxes but they are too narrow and don't have blast walls inside. We thought they were something to do with dispersal's as they are either side of what looks like a pan.

This is intact

You can see the outline were is was

Any way, if you havn't popped in to this place I really would as it is very peaceful and it is a strange sensation knowing what a huge base it was.

There are other bits including what is supposed to be part of the thor base but no evidence confirms it. This part is on private land so unless you get permission don't go there.

Im all for going to these places but permission is needed (unless they are on public land) hence I am sorting tours where possible. Don't piss farmers off as it will spoil it for everyone.

Coleby tower is on a footpath so you can just pop along

We had a brew with it :lol:

There were candles on the floors of every room which was a tad odd. Either its a local hang out, they were for effect for a night shoot or something odd.
