l used to explore here as a kid in the 60's & loved the excitement of doing it alone. never been scared of the dark or spooked by any thing much since! thanx guys was great seeing it again...
we used to camp up the western heights alot usually in the smokey but a couple of times here on top we found the door open and made the most of it before it was locked again. fun times :D
Actually didn't ever do the Drop properly, but knew Smokey like the back of my hand. As long as long as I looked at the back of my hand in near total darkness :D. I used to love just walking round the ditches too - like another world in there, and the crazy tank bridges that I must've nearly fell off more than a couple of times! (note to self - beer and UrbEx don't mix...) :D
we got tierd of climbing up over the door to get in (its a long drop) so cut the padlock off one the lower doors and had our own key to the place for months, i think we may have locked some of the public in there that followed us in (by accident of course) and the lock got changed lol
Hi wondering if you can still get in there as i went up there all the time as a kid and would love to take my 3 boys up there. I moved out of Dover 21 years ago and miss the adventures so please let me know Cheers
@gettingon I also played up there as a kid, but haven't been to Dover for 20 years either, it was actually quite scary up there...but ohhhh, the adventures we had :))

It will be open again sometime during June 2008 - see the Western Heights Preservation Society website
Yes definitely but I think only in the summer. Check the internet for events. They do reinactments there.
Great video.
@theestever I have a feeling we all will know each from the 80's as only people from Dover would know about this, as it wasn't a tourist thing then :)
No, nothing spooky in there !! Come to the open weekend on 9/10 June 2007........
Pacobells Canon is the music
Give us a few £million and I am sure we can do more !
