    Cliffe Fort is a disused artillery fort built in the 1860s to guard the entrance to the Thames from seaborne attack. Constructed during a period of tension with France, it stands on the south bank of the river at the entrance to Cliffe Creek in the Cliffe marshes on the Hoo Peninsula in North Kent, England.

    I know that place. Went there regularly before the ballast belts started encroaching. It was never fenced off & it was never flooded. The ballast mob banked up the east ground level so they could pile shingle, so there was nowhere for the area to drain. It is a Napoleonic fort, but was also utilised in the 1st & 2nd World Wars as a barracks, a river defence & anti-aircraft position.

    Getting in there was like solving a giant puzzle, well done. The surrounding dark water with the dead trees doesn't look very inviting. Looking at those very large rings in the wall you'd almost expect to see a set of shackles. Interesting place.

    in Canada we had Takeshis castle but it was called MXC most extreme elimination challenge. It was dubbed over with lots of profanity and innuendo and they cut the footage differently. amazing show, strongly recommend you check it out. the "safety fluid" (water) was donated by some hilarious disgusting source each time like medical waste or farm runnoff.
    Those pipes over the ditch was straight out of that show. awesome reference
