    Is this the White Cliffs of Dover? That is such a cool explore. Thanks for sharing.

    Another amazing high quality video men. The views, especially the White Cliffs are awesome to see.. so glad you put beauty in you work.. it just completes it in a way only you guys do..and you do them with respect and knowledge of those who fought there as you go. Great music, great exploring content, and amazing filming. Glad to see the world is finding you guys..1.8K and counting.

    It’s a home defence bunker, the whole country was covered with defensive lines of concrete bunkers and tunnel systems where necessary. The point where you entered would have been a machine gun position, there will be several more all along the bay to create a cross fire and cover the whole beach.

    • @xplorer9713
      @xplorer9713  5 років тому

      Yeah, I thought it was a machine gun nest, the actual entrance was at the bottom of the hill and was bricked up. I'm guessing the other opening would also be either a sniper position or machine gun post that was missing the nest. Thanks for watching 👍

    Great video. Kind of weird with all those passages and no rooms for ammo storage, or com equipment, kitchen, aid station, etc. In most or all WWII bunkers, fortifications, camouflage storage locations, you always see all kinds and sizes of rooms, but not here. Have you ever contacted or befriended a vet or two to help you with the history of your explored locations? There is always the library or Google of course, but wouldn’t be kool to interview a person that helped build or was stationed in these locations. After all, Britain 🇬🇧, or the all of UK came very close to being invaded by Germany and of course you cheeky buffs would of fought them off and won, especially with all the allies helping you. But all the old vets are dying and it would be kool to get them on video describing these places to us, your subscribers, that can only see it on UA-cam. Good post. Thank you. 😊🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸

    • @xplorer9713
      @xplorer9713  5 років тому +2

      I agree that it would be interesting to have a conversation with a vet, however it is unlikely that there will be many surviving vets anywhere near us, so I don't think the likelihood of this occuring is very high. Nevertheless, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 👍

    Excellent video as always. It's intriguing the way the tunnels are mainly lined just in little sections. Does pay to be cautious about asbestos though - you could be stirring up traces of it just from walking around and it's not good to get it on your clothes either. Did you locate the small hole you found higher up the cliff afterwards from down on the beach?

    • @xplorer9713
      @xplorer9713  6 років тому

      Yeah, the pattern of the structure was quite interesting, and the tunnels system was a lot larger than we thought it was anyway. No we did not locate the hole as it emerged upwards onto a ledge, so would be difficult to find from the beach. Thanks for watching 👍

      @ouivalerie 6 років тому

      It's obvious to me....the tunnels are sealed at the inner ends.....there's no reason to walk long corridors with nothing to brick wall ends.....and there's no reason to think men just hung out on skinny hallways of concrete....it's transport....it was for transporting something to the underground worlds who won't come out....they have men bring it to them. What was transported wasn't clear.....but it's so secret and to be kept forever that they bricked in all the ends looking like ends but they leave the tunnel in case they ever want to use it again.....now who was 4' tall? Italians? Vietnamese and Japanese....Italians.....they did a lot of brick laying also but back then stone masonry was still going on......Mafia was organizing itself and the spaceships just started getting shot down to reverse engineer but they had flat screen tv's in the 1800's said to be found in one cave...they sat down there and did surveillance on the surface.....ET tech to the secret insider's they incarnated on purpose......Wars, liquor, drugs raged on...but it's obvious nobody was hanging out in hallways......they were transporting in or picking up from the underground this way......Look up Damascus Syria Hospital Tunnels.....you'll get the idea.....Hospitals go 22 levels down and handle all the bloody things that come up in life.....it's for fresh live blood and what's down underground is vampires or call them 3-4 foot tall grey aliens, etc......

      Unfortunately it’s just an observation and defence position.The south coast is riddled with these as it was the most likely area the germans would try to land. Chalk is super easy to tunnel through and pretty stable . So no bigfoot,aliens or nazi gold ! There was a hell of a lot of smuggling around there a couple of hundred years earlier and there is a network of hideholes and tunnels relating to that but further inland.
