- With the exploring this place in 2017, we had to go back with no.1 fan and a special guest.
This place is very well known by fellow local explorers. located on the western heights in dover, a massive 1800s fortification.
This is a very small part of the fortress, it's a service tunnel for servicing water pipes as well as ventilation for the tunnels either end of it.

I felt claustrophobic watching this. Thanks for sharing guys!
Teddy bear Fez is back! Can't blame him for not going in the narrow pipe! Stalker is the perfect size for exploring! Another good one!
remember this back in 95, tunnel felt and smelt like you were back 100 yrs ago strange untouched by time.
I love this video! I keep coming back to it to watch again
Brilliant and intense explore once again. Thanks 👍
Another fantastic video, brilliant. You show great grit and determination, watching Chris take on the pipe... legend. Really brave and I appreciate these videos bringing the past alive.
Love these big team explorations, always a good time!
Hi Ian, respect once again for documenting this. I was holding my breath all the way.
Oh my God. You guys are absolutely crazy. But I really enjoyed watching you explore those tunnels..very cool😁😁😁
Hats off to you Chris for getting through that tunnel, well played mate 👍
G'day, Ian! Wow! Nice job! Just watching you folks with no.1 fan, (working your way through the tunnels & pipe) reminded me of 'The Great Escape' in WW!! First of all, (The Great Escape - Movie) is an excellent adaptation of the book by Paul Brickhill. Although many of the movie characters are composites of the real people, the storyline is still faithful to the spirit of the book. It deals with the escape of a group of bad egg prisoners of war stuck in a nazi prison camp. These are the best of the best prison escapees sent to a prison camp to watch and keep from escape (the first duty of a prisoner).
The men openly show their resolve to keep a nice camp and settle down until the end of the war, all the while actually planning and attempting a daring escape of hundreds of prisoners at one time. It's a compelling read and movie view. The stars are excellent from the smallest role to the bigger ones, by larger than life actors like Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence and many more recognizable faces. It's an all around great movie, but also, 'a very sobering story' as this is based on real men with real courage and convictions. Read the book, watch the movie, you won't be disappointed. Thank you!
Cheers! 😊📽❤️✌🏼
Great explore and thanks for sharing
I literally just rewatched your version of this with the dog and then I find out there’s a brand new one! Great work; classic one👍🏻
There’s another way out I can DM you about if you like

Very exceptional vlog well done again ian and gang.
Dude please let me come to this place next time you visit, man that looks awesome
Really brave doing this all. Legends all the same.
You guys sure do take chances but that's why you're the best you explore every little nook and cranny I like that about you guys keep up the good work but be safe.
I'm with Number One Fan. There's absolutely no friggin way you'd get me going through that !
Looks like you've been reborn !!!!
Brave to crawl through the narrow corridors and pipes.
Go on the boysss , sterling work from IKS rescue dept ;)
This made me panic just watching you squeeze through them tight places....lol...Great video as always....Thanks so much !!
Welcome to the stalker! Another great vid x
Would love you tag along with you guys one day. love watching your videos keep up the good work guys👍
Well done big man, always face your fears. 👍
You guys should sell IKS lube! suitable for tight spots when you can get through ;o)
Friggin funny - hell yeah
crazy stuff
Crawling through that cast iron pipe reminded me of the Shawshank Redemption when Andy escaped from prison. At least you didn't have flowing sewage to contend with. Ha!
Holy Moly ! Sod that !.
Sets my claustrophobia off!
First hi love the videos
Big ups chris for squeez thru the pipe. As for number one fan well bit of manning up next time lol
IKS Gang and the Great Escape - IKS playing Steve McQueen |
Cool
Seeing his feets go into the tunnel is hilarious!
Holy shit dudes that got me on the edge of my seat Awsome.....
Knee pads and gloves for the ruck sack I think guys! Great video if a tad stressful to watch LOL
Very brave dudes
Very interesting and entertaining. Many thanks for posting. By the way... what's the music at the end, really liking it!
Will have to look folk it's in the TH-cam music library
my gawd.. how do you find these sides?
You should get some offcuts of plastic pipe in the garden to see what the smallest one you can all fit though is lol
Mate....how is it that you get the willies over heights.....but this doesn't faze you at all? Another fab video.
I had to stop watching this it’s too much for me. I am claustrophobic and that sent me over the edge.
I second that mavos, I actually am sweating, but for some reason, I keep watching. lol.
folks i injoyed this 1 from your cornish fan
And so we've learned how an IKS is born. IKS Explorations, the learn channel. :)
Jokes aside, i can't blame Fez for that, i've explored my fair share of caves and when your rib cage needs to compress and the only movement you can exert out of yourself is a whimper...ye kinda want to crawl back to wherever you came from and be done with it. Took me years to train my brain to ignore the maddening thoughts.
IF you ever find mosquitoes you might want to try to smoke them out with one of your coils (i seem to remember that one of you had one), i heard that they don't like being fumigated from a friend who is quite a passionate fan of those things.
feck this I felt like running outside just watching this hats off to yah boys
I could never take those confined places.
You got some balls going in there
So what were the tunnels and ruined buildings used for?
It's the drainage tunnel for the troop accomodation Casemates on the Western Outworks, which is part of the Victorian defence system, which can be found on the Western Heights of Dover. Even if you don't go underground, the whole area is a superb example of military might and engineering. It's simply astonishing in it's scale, especially when you consider it was all dug with picks and shovels.
F that glad you done it not me. Nice one guys
05:07 - maybe that broken pipe comes out on to the moat somewhere? That yellow bag in front of the crawl pipe is interesting: it's for VG stores - and I haven't seen one of them for about 30 years. Wonder where that came from? Obviously not biodegradable. Haggling over Fez's jacket made me laugh - can you imagine some blokes about to escape from Colditz through a drain (which some did) arguing about it being a bit muddy? No, me neither.
I`ve shared this loads of times. Still not classed as number one fan. :(
Bucket of lard would help. Btw That blond dude is tiny. He could fit anywhere.
Paul is made for tunnels
At the end of the video cris looks like fidel castro
It's not just me that thinks that, then. 😉
19:35
Does it keep going? Be interesting to stick a GoPro down there on a pole.
An RC camera works really well in a tunnel, surely in the fans there has to be someone in UK with one to lend for a day.
👍
You're nuts lol I would have never went through that small pipe about halfway through
Respect I'm getting a panic attack just watching
Why don't you go in the way you surprised fez ?
That's what i was thinking.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Chris for laughs, "Does it get bigger down there?"
No way you'd get me through that pipe lol
Had to c if fezz did it if Chris made it he would have to but i do see him getting stuck
Love the videos you should come down cornwall and explore some of the mines etc down here and one thing i would say is invest in a decent caving helmet as all it takes is a small chunk of rock to crib off and and hit you on the head and you would would be in trouble
Cheers keep up the great content

iPhone charges
Oh lord my biggest fear. What if you get stuck?!
Haha please be careful
Imagine if the person if front had a spicy curry lol
I mean why tho, those tunnels remind me of scary movies not history. I mean is it like a christening?
There's no way I would get into that tube. I don't consider myself claustrophobic but I would be reduced to a quivering, sobbing lump if I were in a place so tight I needed somebody else to pull me out.
Yet agin no iks t shirt no the fez
Rather you than me. I get a panic attack just watching
Have you ever been in a place like that and run in to someone else.
I've had situations where i explored in West Germany and France where i run into people, some times it's homeless people, some times other explorers. Paris' catacombs was such an occasion/comes to mind, nicest people are down below, but some times you run in to undesirable folks. I did lose 20 Euros on one occasion to mitigate their anger of being trespassed upon.
i'm the 3rd Folk!!!
This video made me feel oozy, i guess im claustrophobic
just watching makes me feel claustrophobic ugh
Looks like the X-file's character Tooms has returned.
NO WAY I would/could do that
i would think if you would go through on your back, it would be easier to get through the tube.
16:00 Its a boy!
I had to watch it in landscape just to pretend that pipe was wider 😳
one day someones gonna hide down there in an alligator suit : )
Ian the midwife!
That was like watching childbirth!
what thats it poor number one fan hope you cleaned is jacket at least
Fez don’t like tight holes Everyone loves a tight hole
Yeah nah fuck that
I would not be doing that I jeans t-shirt and trainers.
F@$k that!,
If Chris farts you will all be blown away :)
Demotion for no 1 fan...
May a midwife join you.
Jesus Folk. Having a panic attack watching. This is worse then that scene in the descent.
