Devonport Dockyard Deep Shelter/The Cann Tunnel, Plymouth

[Engineer]

Cann Tunnel.

Very impressive, nothing like an explore of a tunnel sealed for a long time.

I can't believe I used to play in this 15/20+ years ago and didn't know what it really was. I really do love these pictures as it really captures the scale of the tunnel system.

As part of this railway system, there are a few open tunnel up near clearbrook and a open tunnel near tavistock. All open as part of the cycle path.

wat stuff would we need ot bring

 

[justcurious]

I would think old clothes that you don`t mind wrecking, a pair of walking boots, and a plentiful supply of torches - being stuck at the far end in total darkness can`t be very funny lol!!!
