You refer to three entrances. There's the Middleton side and Hoptonwood side, so what's the third? Or do you mean the fan blowers at Hopton Wood? Someone told me that the middle tunnel at the Hopton side was a maintenance area and doesn't connect to the main quarry. Is that correct?

Nope! the adit we were all using has been blocked up floor to ceiling late last year!
There was a active radon monitor in there last time I went in too so they were obviously keeping a eye on it.
I wouldnt be surprised if the motion sensors have been reinstated at the other adits.
