Yesterday i donned my geekiest cardigan with squarest of specs & of course my anorak. At my grumpiest moodiest best i went & did some very very sad tunel crawling! I really should get a life! Anyway for those interested in having a look inside the mile & half long monster of Queensbury tunnel we've uploaded a youtube vid. The longest & deepest disused railway tunnel in England is a real testament to mans determination to beat a path for the advent of the railway. We've had to include some long exposure shots as the tunnel is so cavernous it's difficuilt to light up for video stuff. We did our best under difficuilt circumstances, I hope the people interested enjoy a look inside places they wouldn't normally see! It's all held together with the classic Get Carter sound track from Jacks train ride journey home to Newcastle on his deadly mission. Enjoy the trip. the video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfzvrJf5eXc

EXCELLENT and fascinating footage! Thanks. As I have posted before, your contributions are valued on here. Please just take a minute to THINK, before flying off the handle and posting abuse? Again - compliments for the video.

Fascinating stuff Phill. I really like to see this kind of thing, but not first hand (creepy crawly things and all that !).Anway, thanks again Phill and keep posting the videos.

Many thanks for the positive comments Jan. Glad you liked it. I think we'll do something high in daylight next time to get a better look. Cheers!
