| Something more interesting than the tunnel up there? Not to me! (Note, i'm glad to say the person not wearing a hard hat is the Ranger). |
No time for serious photography. But I reckon if you ask nicely they'll give you a few minutes in each tunnel for a quick light painting episode. |
All the tunnels are dry and quite even under foot though there are one or two piles of junk inside one or two portals. |
The Ranger's were great. I expected Health and Safety to the fore and to be treated like cattle/children... but no, they were happy to let us get on with it - I didn't even see them counting people in and out. Just a cursory check to make sure everyone was out. I could still be in there! |

| Big F.O doors! They have integrated locks so no padlock to cut off (for those of you that way inclined). They keys are about 5 inches long! |
A pleasant lack of H&S in the dark despite debris that could do you a serious injury (but only if you pick it up and beat yourself with it). |
The mob exits the first tunnel and not a single broken bone. |
As I said, big F.O. doors! |

| Put wood in 'ole. |
There's something about the portals... the profile is very elegant and the setting is spectacular. |
Apparently Hilary Bliss is a Ranger on his day off from the butcher's up the road in Royston Vasey. |
The path for the usual walkers deviates to the left, it was good to go straight on. |
