As it happened they were just doing a little exploring of their own, and with a sweet smile from Rachel Reed, they decided to unlock the top secret parts of the battlement so that we could look around. The top secret parts included a trip into the room the furthest underground which was used as the main ammunition chamber and supposedly wouldn’t collapse or blow up even if the ground above was fired upon by the enemy! After a scrumptious shared lunch spent basking in the sun we slowly meandered back to the real world….”
