One of the four explorations me and Wilshure have completed on the bank holiday weekend. We kitted up in the car park and headed out to go to the tunnel.

The tunnel was formally used to link Scarborough and Whitby with Middlesbrough on a coastal route. Up until recently we were to believe that there was just the one tunnel but upon researching the history of the place there is a shorter one at Kettleness end.
Riddled with grafitti, air ventilation shfts and drainage tunnels this place is an interesting place to walk through if not a little scary at times (and also very wet inside).

Anyway we were set on trying lightpainting again for the second time and thanks to Wilshures kick ass camera skills and my eye for good photos we shall move on to them.....
