Thanks Carl, to be honest with you, this one was one of the easiest I've ever walked!.... There was a lovely breeze blowing right through from one end to the other which aided ventilation. I've walked tunnels in Lincs that were much more stuffy and had a bad case of no oxygen!
Thank you OS. I always remember when I first started and all I knew was the flash !!..... never realised it's better to use a tripod and bump the shutter seconds up. Some of these were taken with a 30 sec exposure and lots of arm knackering torch waving in the darkest bits. Tunnels always seem to eat up every single bit of light and are not easy to illuminate. Without the torches and head torches too, this is absolutely pitch black. Very serene though and quiet. We could hear the cars and sirens passing above as we walked through.
Ohh I like that, well worth the long drive, thanks for posting GF 
Definatly,,, there will be another very soon.

Catesby Tunnel on the old Great Central in Northants is walkable and it is about 1.5 miles long.
Walked it several months ago, but you do need a very strong torch after a while.
I'd imagine you would. That baby has got some serious yardage!
Thanks Nel.... it was a long trip, but so worth it!
