"Someone I met through kayaking, many years ago told me about a second world war sub base on that coast. The land entrance had been filled with concrete and the only way in was by kayak at exceptionally low tides or swimming. I was told it was fully equipped, maintenance shops, barracks even ration packs because no one could carry anything out.

He was based in Portsmouth so I'd estimate the base would be between New Milton and Bognor if that's of any interest or help to anyone.

But if you go looking for it, be careful out there it's a busy old bit of water.

"That sounds far too dangerous to even think about attempting without a team of experienced people with lots of good equipment methinks. It would be pretty cool though.

Even if it was sealed off by land, I would be surprised if there was any valuable equipment or machinery in good working order. If people can swim into it, so can all kinds of animals.
If it's saltwater then i think (but not 100%) that even the vapours can damage metal more than freshwater. I'm sure i've heard that somewhere. "

"Yeah I'm just gonna stay up north, too far south for me.
Shame there aren't enough people from the UK to effectively set up enough RVE points. **** if there was one in the closest city, I'd Heavily consider going."

"(1) Wont every other panicked person be going there trying to get on a ship
and
(2) How will you be able to tell if anyone is infected?
You wont be able to screen everyone so it could end up being a massacre IMO. "
