Chislehurst Caves

Advantages: v.interesting, for all the family
Disadvantages: if you don't like the dark then it's probably not for you

...Introduction: Chislehurst Caves are miles of mysterious passageways hand cut from the chalk stone to form an enormous labyrinth covering more than 20miles in length and at a depth of up to 30 metres beneath the Chislehurst woodlands. The caves were dug over a period of 800 years and were originally formed in the process of searching for flint and chalk. Recent History: In 1914 the caves became part of the Woolwich Arsenal and were used as an ammunitions depot. They only remained as a depot for a few years and were then used by the Kent Mushroom Company who grew mushrooms in the caves because of the dark and moist conditions which were great for the growing crop. This was brought to an abrupt end however with the outbreak of the second world war. Chislehurst caves were overnight transformed into the biggest air raid shelter outside...

Review of Chislehurst Caves

Colossal Caves

Advantages: Fascinating, reasonably cheap day out
Disadvantages: Caves can be cold and damp and it is easy to trip up!

...Alley" in the South which also suffered dreadfully from bombs deliberately discharged on the flight back to Germany or simply missed aim. With grim determination people found shelter over night and emerged the next morning to pick their way over the rubble to work. Those in Central London found ideal underground shelters in the tube stations. In Outer London, where gardens were more plentiful, Anderson Shelters were provided to many families. However for the people living in the suburbs of South East London there was a ready-made shelter just waiting for them. The caves at Chislehurst are a labyrinth of entirely man-made tunnels - up to 20 miles of them - below the homes and gardens of the area. The caves are thought to have been started by the Druids (although this is open to debate) and were continued by the Romans and Saxons in order to...

To the bat cave!

Advantages: Great setting, amazing sight, superb guide
Disadvantages: No useful amenities, not good for people with limited mobility

...Back in 2006 I spent three months traveling around the Black Sea. I saw some wonderful and memorable sights but two in particular were really amazing. The first was the Gallipoli battlefields and memorials in western Turkey, the other was the Uplistsikhe Cave City in central Georgia. Uplistsikhe (pronounced Oo-lis-si-he, that's nothing you should try looking for the name in Georgian script) is situated about ten kilometres from the town of Gori. It's about an hour from the capital, Tbilisi, though it's certainly worth staying in Gori if you have the chance. Uplistsikhe is now a UNESCO recognised site and, in conjunction with financial aid from the World Bank, the Georgian government is working hard to protect it from further damage. Uplistsikhe is important because of the combination of pagan and Christian evidence linked to...

Review of Uplistsikhe Cave City, Georgia

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

...From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know (where have you been?), TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms of animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. You find you are always looking for new ones and cannot stop buying them - havoc for your wallet, heaven for your collection! One of the Beanies is a fish, who goes by the name of Coral. Its such a beautiful name - I was obsessed with sea coral as a child so this is a delightful treat for me. Coral is very attractive to look at too. She is coated in a delightful mix of rainbow colours: blues, yellows, pinks. She reminds me of the Rainbow Fish book every child will have read at some point, something else we can relate to with this fish. She is not as pluffed up as...

Great stay at the Cave Castle

Advantages: Well priced, good facilities, comfortable, not the usual chain hotel
Disadvantages: Some plumbing issues. Some rooms have limited views

...We were looking for a good value weekend break in April with friends and were recommended to try the Cave Castle - we were very pleased that we did. We got a good deal at £110 per night for DB&B. Finding the hotel was easy and the approach via South Cave gives a very attractive view of the hotel up on the hill. Plenty of on-site parking. Greeting at reception was very friendly and efficient and we walked through the typically complicated coridoors of an old building to our room, which was on the first floor in a new block, which had been built to match the style of the original buidling. Our room was clean and spacious, with relatively new decor. Flat screen TV with a range of channels including Sky Sports news. Bathroom was a little tired, and we had a particular problem with both the bath and shower taps which were very...

Fab fish fingers!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love fish fingers, but I'm pretty fussy about what I eat, and whilst with many products I'm happy to just go with the cheapest brand available, fish fingers for me are always Birdseye. Most cheap fish fingers tend to be made from the mysterious 'Minced White Fish' which has the texture of mashed up cardboard and tastes like licking a sweaty armpit. You're probably thinking I'm exaggerating there, after all, nobody makes a habit of licking armpits . Well, I did once while a little under the influence - and it was much nicer than a cheap fish finger! Okay, so now we know why I fixate on Birdseye - I know when the pack tells me it's cod fish fingers, its nothing but cod . However, recently I saw they were now offering a salmon version - and I figured I should definitely try them, since they were on offer at a pound a pack . Like...

Review of Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers

Fish Fingers

Advantages: nutrtitious, tasty, versatile
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...I do not usually buy fish fingers but wanted to get some for my son to try so I purchased a pack of Bird s Eye Omega 3. I paid £1.69 for the box which contains 10 fish fingers made with 100% fish fillet (Alaska Pollock). I choose these particular ones as I wanted to give Jake the best quality I could buy in a supermarket. The Fish Fingers are really easy to cook, under the grill or in an oven for 12 ? 15 minutes, turning occasionally. The first time I tried them with Jake, I just cooked him one and four for me. While I was waiting for his fish finger to cool I made myself a fish finger buttie. It did not take long after biting into the fish finger to figure out that the fingers are not actually made from a whole fish fillet, but rather from chopped up fillet shaped into fingers. This was actually exactly what I expected so I...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Poor Tour Guiding Ruins the Day a Chislehurst Caves

Advantages: Interesting History
Disadvantages: Poor quality guides, tacky presentation

...What should have been a a great day out was completely ruined by the appalling behaviour of the guide. He spent so much time playing up the negative aspects (spiders etc) and jumping out screaming with a torch under his chin that I learned nothing about the caves. His only intent was to scare the people on his tour. There were many interesting things about the caves (mine tunnels) including the wartime history and the druid alter, but it is obvious from the moment you enter the attraction that the presentation of the caves is tacky and inappropriate for children. A lot 'Can you feel the darkness' and playing up of the 'evil' posters should have been a good clue. Certainly not recommended for anyone who is looking for something fun and educational. But if you are into immature American guides and cheap scares, this would be good...
