A Few Tweaks to the Website
Now it is the time of the year where the evenings draw to a close uncomfortably early, we have set about tweaking the website. Firstly, the ROC Section now has a map that shows the location of all 1500 ROC posts in the UK. We also have a facebook page dedicated to the website, we have realised that most of us are on there, so it is the best way to communicate with you all, like it here. There are a few other surprises about the place as well, and a large number of link fixes...
Aldwych Underground Station
Well, every once in a while, London Underground grant permission for the Aldwych Station to be opened up for tours. So we took a wander down, flaunted the no dSLR rule and had a tour. It would have been great to be able to see it without the guides, but running down the tunnels of the Underground isn't our cup of tea. See it here...
TheTimeChamber Blog
So after a few weeks of pondering Content Management Systems, and where to take the website, we have shoe-horned on a Wordpress system onto the side of the website. This should allow us to update a little quicker, on subjects that wouldn't normally make it onto the main site. We can also upload to the photography section much quicker... Visit it here, and if you feel like it, leave a comment!
RAF Wartling Project
Over the summer months, one half of TheTimeChamber joined Subbrit on helping to secure and make safe the RAF Wartling ROTOR bunker in Sussex. This was a fantastic opportunity to see the inner workings of how to repair a bunker... See the photos here
Walton on the Hill Railway Tunnels
Well, back in May 2011, we took the plane over to the Ukraine to take a trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Where we spent over two days exploring the sites, poking around the Pripyat City and experiencing a slice of the Eastern Bloc life. We hope to go back soon. See the photos here
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone & Pripyat City
During a short visit to the City of Liverpool recently, we decided that a spot of exploring would be the order of the day, so we headed off North of the City Centre and quickly disappeared down a long abandoned railway tunnel that was only half completed... See the photos here
Ystrad Einon Copper Mine
During our trip to North Wales to escape the rushes of Royal Marriage, we eventually found ourselves heading South. We had one aim in mine, to see the last remaining underground water wheel in the country. This was something else. See the photos here...
Llanberis Bomb Store
Whilst the rest of the world sat and watched the Royal wedding, we decided to head to North Wales and escape the festivities, here we found an old RAF Bomb Store in Llanberis that was the scene of a huge explosion. See the photos here...
RAF Upper Heyford
This time in 2010 - we run a little behind on updates here - we visited RAF Upper Heyford and where treated to a tour from the base care taker, who knew his stuff and his stories. Read more about the visit here...
The Drakelow Tunnels
A short while ago, the current owners of the Drakelow Tunnels opened the tunnels up to the public for the first time, TheTimeChamber was in attendance to have a poke about. Read more about the visit here...
Halberstadt Malachit Ammo Dump
Last summer, one half of TheTimeChamber booked themselves on an EasyJet Flight with one thing in their minds. This was the Halberstadt Tunnels, which have a varied and grim history. We have finally managed to sit down and get writing, so that we can bring you photographs and a short history...
