Grain Fort - April 2011

[Maniac]

Grain fort is one of many forts built along the kent coast mainly during the napoleonic wars of the 1800's, but lots of them were also used as gun emplacements in WW2, and like most of them it's days as a functioning military post were over as the war ended. Grain was actually demolished and what remains was buried and sealed up years ago, but some nice people have spent a while digging into it so we thought we'd go have a look for ourselves. You can only access a tiny part of what's left, which begs the question anyone up for a dig! :mrgreen: .

Only took a few photos, a heavy night at frosty's house the night before in celebration of his birthday left me somewhat lacking creativity, but was a good explore none the less.

Visted with Frosty and Muffie, cheers for the company guys.

Thanks for looking!

Maniac.

Ah yes we did aaaaaages ago, all through the moat and everything. Apparently other parts of it are do-able if you know where to look.
