'This former Bath stone quarry was converted in to a sub-depot of the Central Ammuntions Depot. The site consists of two areas, the main storage area - districts 12 to 18 and connect via a drift, districts 19 and 20. Each storage district was divided up in to numbered storage bays, passage ways were fitted with conveyor to transport crates of ammunition around the mine.' -Monkton Farleigh Mine, Monkton Farleigh, Wiltshire | Nettleden.com

Having first tried getting to this place several years ago and failing, this explore has always been one that I have had a passion to reach. This weekend we finaly made it, and I was prepared to endure pain, grovel... and ache like hell to get there.

Enjoy..






































Cheers, More info and pictures can be found on the website as always. (including an excellent photo of me riding a bike, while drinking the very potent local cider).
