Bloody hell, it looks like that could just collapse and disappear at any minute!!

..

You can say that again - it's not often that I get worried about the laws of gravity whilst underground - but this was well dodgy. :eek:

That fall looks a bit dodgy to say the least! Is it possible to access the tunnel from the other end?

Impressive stuff :thumb

That is the flattest stone arch I've seen - can't imagine how the keystone principle would work on that. If it was a modern tunnel you'd think the builders had misread the width on the plan or got a distorted print :crazy

Exactly what was going through my mind as I paddled beneath it (although with many more expletives, and a few extra prayers :eek: )

Yep, it was bad towards the end. Some of the areas seemed to be held up by. . .

actually I'm not quite sure what the hell was holding them up ;).

This tunnel looks like it's sticking a finger up at Isaac Newton! Looks like a really "interesting" day out(!)

Has the 28DL flotilla got anymore voyages planned?

Spanish armada ain't got shit on you guys... Love this canal report.. Got to be more of this around. My local canals are dried out tunnels now used for pedestrians.. Boring..

those are some serious cave ins!
Interesting viewing, looks like you guys enjoyed it; well the first part at least, understandably anxious the second part
