ok.. i'm a bit new to this.. but a month or so ago i was in gibraltar (as part of the plymouth-banjul challenge). my travelling-buddy and I climbed up the rock, and had a wonder round.. quite good fun - lots of old tunnels (presumably from when the army had the whole of the rock) and some other old buildings. Sadly, i didnt take many pics, but what i've got are here.. the tunnels were drilled right into the rock, and went thru to the other end.. there were some turnings but it was pitch black, and i had no light source other than my camera flash. there was some stuff on the floor like cables, ropes and the like.. worth a look :) there was nothing exciting in the buildings
