Hi all. I revisited the abandoned and disued Kelvingrove railway tunnel in Glasgow on Saturday with a group of friends. All went well and was a good exploration and came across a few unpleasent and unexpected surprises along the way. Below are the 28 photographs I have added to the gallery. I have copied a link to each photograph if you want to see the photograph(s) in a bigger size on my site compared to the size below. Short captions are given at the side of the photograph link(s):
The full gallery can be found here and the recent 28 photographs from saturday can additionally be found below:
