Very wise words. Although if that happens after you've spent a lot of time in them (ie. a couple of minutes and want to get on with watching some telly) that can be embarrasing. Less so in a boat

Super shots. I grew up only 1/4 mile from this entrance, and although I found the it as a nipper I never went in. I now want to, especially because the longer tunnel at Crimson Hill, south of Lillesdon, now has a full iron gate with lock in the entrance, that has appeared in the last 4 years. BIG shame. Apparently a geo-cache placed in the middle meant so many went there it became a problem. The same is also true of the ancient rail tunnel a mile or so up, near Hatch Beauchamp.

A lesson there, perhaps?

Please let's keep this one a bit hush hush, feels close to my heart.

But then again, if I hadn't found such awesome images as you have posted here, I might never have remembered this old place. For that, thank you.
