Report - Buckland Sand Mine, Surrey - Jan and Feb 2017

[Lord Oort]

This the kind of stuff that needs doing in the day? Or is there any that would be okay to do in the evenings ?

If its doable in the day then its almost certainly gonna be easier in the evening.

Entrance is a challenge to find but walking the area you learn what to look for. First time I went here was a complete failure but I had a feeling about it so went back and checked again. Let’s just say be grateful for small animals and helpful websites ;-). Squeeze in avoiding spiders and its just walk around once in. Lovely little place and a good find. Really didn’t look like anyone had been here for ages and I reckon the place is completely forgotten about. Photos taken over two visits.

Where abouts in Buckland is this? I live close by, I'd love to take a look!

Ok the location of this place is starting to annoy me now. It’s only just up the road from my house as well.
I’ve found the old paper (from 1923!) and know the lane but after half a dozen attempts I just can’t find the enterence. There’s a little disused sandpit on the left that has potential but nothing!
Anyone got any ideas???
