Hollingbourne Auxiliary Units WW2 Bunker 

That tunnel would be awful for me. I don't light tight spaces, nor do I like spiders.

This video just reminded me of something. I remember crawling through a natural tunnel of a cave system here in Alabama; probably half the diameter of that one there in this video, just absolutely filled with spiders and cave crickets. It also had a natural 90 degree bend and for some reason I went around it after struggling for a bit. The spiders and other awful creatures got much bigger the further I went. took me about 15 minutes to find a spot that opened up enough to turn around with some yoga poses or some shit. Needless to say, I no longer like crawling through very tight tunnels. Wonderful videos though man. Been watching through all of your channel this morning. Keep up the great work.

Wow... spiders... tunnel... fantastic video! Thank you !!

I like your talk and just the right backgroundmusic in your videos! Nice and interesting as always, good work :)

Great videos guys, I have read in books from ww2 that some of the hidden bunkers had large pipes going into them so that messages could be dropped down to the soldiers inside to let them know what was going on.... keep up the great work.

Awesome bunker, great video! We just explored some bunkers under our city in Germany, it is so much fun!

Just found your channel! love the videos man keep them coming.

really nice videos man,waiting for more bunkers/tunnels!!!

Great videos mate, really enjoy them 👍

Love your vids m8. Can't believe I only just found you and your channel

Amazing find and great video

subscribed. regular uploads and im sure this channel will explode.

fantastic Bunker and very small Tunnel Exploring!!! :)) greating Matze

This guy is brilliant. Excellent video adventures.

Thumbs up for you going into that tunnel with the spiders. Awesome history! I guess ill have to subscribe.

There is nothing like the feeling of being in a tight tunnel with a bunch of spiders. We have very similar spiders here in Canada, same shape, size colour, habit of hanging from the top of a tunnel, and same sort of egg sacs. Never heard of our spiders biting though.....Thanks for the video.

Wow man respect I would never gone in such a small pipe/tunnel

Great video!

Another excellent vid

Damnit. I was just about to go to bed, and while I'm not deathly afraid of spiders the thought of a small tunnel filled with them isn't something I find appealing. I'm sure I'll have sweet dreams tonight lol.

Awesome commando bunker! Damn, there was a lot spiders :) Great explore as always :)

Oh my lord your brave dude ,i went in an old Roman cave last year felt like a kid again until i shone my light and three cave spiders were ready to get me ,my daughter had to help drag me out lol,love your vids guys :) xx

amasing bro ceap up the great work

Great little spot. I met a load of those spiders this week somewhere. When I crawled out, there was a whopper on the top of my rucksack. I took coat & hat off for a good brush down in case too. :-)

is it possible to use a remote control car/toy or something like that that could fit a camera on to explore where you don't want to go or get to

You're the bravest man I ever seen. Personally I'd rather run naked across Syria with a huge cross while yelling 'Jesus is top man!' than going down into that cramp hole with spiders' nests. Simply amazing courage.

That looks like an auxiliary OB for sure, thanks for sharing, atb, Damian

Great video man! I've been scared off by those cave spiders so many times lol!

it's kind of sad, watching historical places full of grafitti.

nice video !!

dunno about you but, if i was crawling through that pipe and a face appeared at the other end, i would probably die of fright :| great videos btw, im recently new subscriber and used to do some urban exploring myself :)

Yeey You almost shaved!! Another great vid to!

I love it when you say at the escape tunnel... And this is full of.... (pause).... spiders.....

enjoyed that , the sound of your voice in that tunnel reverberating around the barrel , i would not have known about cave spiders having a bite , how does the bite compare to a wasp sing ? thank you for sharing this with us

I think you surely have earned your spider badge! Spiders aside I'd love to crawl through those little tunnels!

You are a braver soul than I sir! Tunnel of spiders would be a bit too much of a deterrent for me.

I LOVE ur vids u should make more on ww2 or ON ww1

great channel you have, love the fact that a lot of it is in Britain. anything overseas?

great vid, you made the right choice with those spiders

scary tunnel! I like this!

Crawling into an old tunnel full of spiders... nah m8 I'm OK out here

100% leuke Video weer

Ahhh jees man!! Thats just gnarly haha those spiders are not good!

This looks very like a Zero station for an Auxiliary Unit, the so-called British Underground, actually the hard core stay-behind parties of the Home Guard. Their story is fascinating. Books such as 'The Last Ditch' and 'Churchill's Secret Defence Army' are worth reading on this subject. Also, take a look at www.auxunit.org.uk

I was getting a panic attack just watching you crawl through that tunnel.. Gulp!!

You are a braver man than me... no power on earth would have got me down that pipe...

id have to take something with me to torch all the spiders, i HATE spiders !

Those pipes gave me an idea, I was thinking maybe they used an exhaust pipe for stale air while using it for waste water as well. Just the same could be done with fresh water and air but in this case the angle of the pipes was wrong for a gravity fed system. I think maybe because this was a very dangerous position and at the same time beneficial, they were in they may have had help with designs from the best sources of military architects.

It's weird how the tunnel just changed from concrete to dirt. Was the escape hatch down that part you didn't go down? It would have been pretty nice to see you climb out it haha.

Hi, FYI As I've helped them with a couple of locations in Essex, I've just sent the link of this vid to the British Resistance Archive (BRA) / Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART).

no chance you would get me in the tunnel i dont do spiders lol.

you need some sigourney weaver flame thrower action in that tube...I love spiders though :P

Good vid and have you ever found an underground prison :)

Felt a little claustrophobic watching that!

your voice sounds funny in the tunnel :P

There is one in Gorsley wood near Canterbury!

Please clearly describe which country and which area it's located /situated

Clean the holes out with fire hydro lol :)

those vents @1:05 wouldn't that be to pass ammunition powder cases through. As the navy uses these same access to pass ammunition through to prevent bulkhead compromise and gas protection.

if there was a big bag of money down the end of that tube i will not go down there with them spiders all the best

2:35 fuck sakes man , give me a dam heart attack (actually made me jump and go oh fuck) thing looked huge for a second

Are there any maps that highlight the location of these?

My sister would have already been running out of that when she saw the spider webbs

What camera are you using?

if you look at the crack on the pipe is been painted since it was done?

would make awesome home

id like to see the very end maybe so old guns and stuff at the end

did you ever find out where the escape tunnel came out at?

Over night stay in bunkers make it cozy glamp it up would be cool buddy

Did you find where the emergency exit comes out on the surface?

Also the sub Brit link you have used is not for this location. This is the Hollingbourne Zero Station. May I suggest you use our web link? www.coleshillhouse.com/specialdutiesbranch/hollingbourne-zero-station.php

yup

Someone get this man some mechanics gloves!

Worry not of the spiders if you leave them alone they will leave you alone, only if you brush up against them, but spiders normally stay away from humans; as the old saying goes "they are more afraid of you then you are of them"

All those spiders euuuurrrrghhh

given me the Heebie jeebies just watching - dem spiders...

It is a Zero Station used by the Special Duties Branch. Not commandos or Aux units. Read the full story here www.coleshillhouse.com/specialdutiesbranch/hollingbourne-zero-station.php

members of the royal Auxiliary member only had a life expectancy of about 12 days if the shtf..lol

You have balls to crawl though there...I would proper panic...

Weren't there plans at least a long the coast for pipe lines to be used to pump oil or gas to then be set fire to to stop the German forces as part of the defenses? Perhaps those pipes the smaller one were part of such a system?

cave spiders are apparently mildly venomous I remember seeing on ray mears wild Britain

this guy is insane

auxiliary units was there name

i would have had to have brought a can of something flammable and a lighter. i cant do that many spiders lol.

Those spiders are not babies you have balls of steel for crawling with them I'd see one and be around the world in a second flat

Are these in the UK, if so where abouts ?

cave spiders loads of these in the cann tunnel in plymouth

A tunnel full of NOPE!

when i do things like this i take an aerosol that sprays water or air to get rid of spiders

You have to go back, mate! We need to see the end of the emergency exit. Take a can of cheap deodorant and a lighter with you next time. ;^)

Smash the spiders, how do those spiders live down there? I dont think food or water would get that far into that bunker.

The 'Forward Units'. Men with local knowledge, of countryside and landscape, good shots, so it would be more than likely to have poacher and gamekeeper rubbing shoulders. First priority: remove anyone who might have knowledge of the 'Forward Unit' in their area, so that there was no possibility of the Germans finding out who the saboteurs were, and planning reprisals. Harsh, but sensible.

Is there hard to breath?

I'm shitting my kecks everytime he moves because of the spiders blimey

4:08 You came to the wrong neighborhood

Those spiders need to stop graffitying those walls.

I would have already had a heart attack from my goddamn arachnophobia :/

In this hide out bunker did the people in ww2 that were here died cause someone killed them or they moved out p.s sorry I don't know too much about ww2

PROTECT THE SAC!

Not massive?
