Found this one after having a mooch in the land of many sheep, open and in quite good condition apart from 18" of water in it, still , managed to get a couple of shots of the inside, from the ladder.

Yes abt 18" of water in it, diddnt intend looking at roc,s just noticed it on side of road, and it was the first one i,ve been in ! spent 2 hrs of last fri. trying to find a place in llanberis, only to find ( when i got back ) that i was within 100 yds of it

Lesson no 1 to myself, must do more research before i go mooching!

Nice one! I am going to have to break my ROC duck and find one I can get into. I've seen a ROC post list somewhere...

it explains how you can post individual pics from your photobucket instead of the whole album everytime....

Ha,

I have been on duty inside this one!

(although I was an NCO in a Group Control crew from a non-adjacent Group!)

Did the sump pump work?

Hi, To answer your questions:
@Yamahapaul
As to how I got to be based at a post, instead of my usual Group Control - I asked for a temporary transfer to a post (not Beddgelert!) near to the area in which I had a summer season job! I got it, and kept my rank etc, it worked both ways. I learnt what the post personnel did, and they found out a bit about what happened to the data they sent to the group operations room.
My visit to Beddgelert was during a training exercise, to cover an unexpected illness.
@Gingie
Beddgelert post was dry (and warm) when I was in it. Most sump pumps were used (or rather tested) on an irregular basis.
@Indy500
There are several ROC posts run as museums (and a mock up at a couple of the bunker based places - I have some details in the filing cabinet that pretends to be my brain, If I can recall the details I'll PM you, if you want)
Stoneroad (if you need more info, either email or PM me)
