The hole

The interpid travellers set off on foot midway in the afternoon through crevices, rocks and cliffsides and wild vegetation to discover previously uncharted land for them. Through rocky patches, cisterns, trees they marched until they reached the sea with its soothing effect on all of them. After taking a breather they decided to start their trek back and after walking for around an hour realized that they were lost and that the track they were on was a treacherous one that led to nowhere. With sunset soon finishing its course the now weary travellers decided to turn back and try find the original track. With some luck the right track was soon found but it was then that things soon took an unexpected twist.

All of a sudden the travellers fell in a hole. Shaken, it took them some moments to realize what had happened and take their bearings. The first reaction was to start shouting but it soon dawned on them that they were the only persons in that remote area. With the little light left and a small torch that one of the adventurers had they trudged towards what seemed like a narrow and damp tunnel and they quickly realized that they were in a network of tunnels and rooms, most probably used in the Second World War. In some rooms they found old bottles, bunkbeds and some inscriptions on the wall.

Room after room and through several tunnels the intrepid travellers went through and they were getting intrigued by what they were seeing. Suddenly in one room that was bigger than all the others they had seen, they found alot of equipment which seemed like a mixture of decoding and radar equipment full of cobwebs.

After a short rest the travellers kept on walking until they found a flight of stairs leading upwards. Thinking that they had found a way out they enthusiastically trudged forward only to find the exit blocked by some rubble. Not to be discouraged they formed a human line to dislodge the stones and soon enough managed to force open the iron door that was beyond the rubble and found themselves back in the open air a few miles away from where they had originally set off. Relieved they walked the last part to the cars, tired but with the knowledge they had stumbled upon something extraordinary.
