It's a very pleasant portal to approach in a pleasing cutting (the North portal remains, the other is under a housing estate). Wellies were necessary in the cutting on this wet December day but may not be in summer. It starts of dry with and clear. And stays dry and clear for a couple of hundred yards.

It then gets a bit moist. The floor is dry and solid but you might take a brolly! The portal under the housing estate has a pile of sloppy mud topped with solid concrete leading up to a manhole. There is a lot of moisture in the air here. Looking back to the entrance from the top of the sloppy pile.
