Awesome images of a WWII Urbex adventure! This is really Urban Exploration at its finest. The author managed to reach AND scale Knock John Tower - the old UK Maunsell Navy Fort designed to attack bombers & German E-Boats.
If you play GWX for Silent Hunter 3 you may have seen these structures, along with the "War of the Worlds" Army Maunsell forts - I think Privateer modded them in. Knock John is a lot less popular than the other forts and almost impossible to get into - no ladder up, etc.
These guys managed it with Paracord and a cheap Chinese crossbow. Like Batman scaling a skyscraper in Gotham with his rope gun.:haha:
Not sure this can be recommended to our UK subsimmers.. :D Technically they are probably trespassing - and the route is extremely dangerous for small craft - people have drowned trying to reach the forts. But the view is spectacular. Tons of original WWII contraptions are still left. The pretty wartime pin-up girls still on the walls are a nice touch. lol.
