Nice to see the place hasn't really changed. I've not been for many years. That bale conveyor thing has been in there since I was at school, I reckon the farmer has forgotten about it Photograph: (click image to open full size image in new window) IP: 195.171.131.2

We used to cycle out there when we were at school. There's a series of short tunnels running out from an old quarry which now houses a sewerage works. 3 are easy to get to, the one with the steel door used to have old roofing tiles stored in it. The one with the farming equipment has a hole in the roof to surface which I always wondered about rigging up for some SRT practice. The others are only accessible with some hacking through undergrowth and edging around a boggy or flooded area depending on the season, they don't go far, in fact you don't really need a light IP: 195.171.131.2
