We have relatives up visiting so today we decided to go to Scotlands secret bunker, really interesting place, anyone interested in the military would love it. I bought some kind of Russian bullet keyring and a .50 cal Browning Machine Gun bullet to just sit on my desk. They also had loads of other types for sale, click here to see them .
Point and click camera so they're not amazing, my cousin also dropped it in the toilet at one stage so a few of them have white cloudy marks in the centre  quite an eerie place in parts, especially the room that's covered in news paper clippings and articles about the potential threat of a nuclear attack, there's a copy of the last words that someone would read out if it was going to be the end, should a nuclear bomb have been dropped in the UK. Weird to say the least. The only thing that ruined it for me were the manakins that looked like they were straight out of TopShop, you'll see what I mean when you see them.
I'll upload the rest tomorrow, took me over 2 hours to upload all these

Not very secret then?
I am only getting some pictures as I am on an iPhone but was the camera fished out before or after a piss/dump?
If you are into that, goto Oradour-sur-Glane in France. It's eerie as fuck, not been touched since the village was massacred in WW2 and people were burnt to death in the church.

No it was outed in 1992 when the government stopped using it, the camera was dropped at the end, no piss though, only took 3 pics after that. The camera is my mums stupid digi cam, the pics arent al lthat great to start with to be honest.

They had all the TV broadcasts ready, from walking round there it was like we were days away from nuclear war.
The bomb siren things and gas masks are easily the scariest thing ever, I'd shit myself and die if I had to deal with both at the same time.

If you heard that speech you more or less know you was going to die, it's very eerie and like John said there is original broadcast messages playing all over the bunker, a cinema with all the instruction adverts and such.

"Do not become excited" - Not really the right choice of words for when you're going to be obliterated by a nuke
Looks cool, there's one near Nantwich that i've been to (South Cheshire)
