Ok so we managed to get a big group together for a trek into a tunnel in Shanklin, here on the island, thanks to a mate for letting us know, although others knew too, but never said anything 
It was a tad muddy, and when our mate said he was going back with waders, I thought he was taking the pi$$, no he wasnt....
Heres a few pics;
You can see how muddy it is in this pic.
At the end of the tunnel, my addition of candles, as mentioned earlier on the forum.
Didnt turn out how Id have liked.
The lads
Since it was built, it has been used as a drainage system, this flow went underground.
Closer shot, showing the old tracks, used for...??
Traditional spider shot.
This was at the end, a bit of the celing has collapsed, but funnily, the brickwork stopped here and the tunnel carried on carved into the limestone.
None of us wanted to risk climbing over, but it is big enough, but very very wet.
About 12ft away from us, was another tunnel entrance, we left for another day.
So thats it.
Comments welcome
