arghh tunnel hooligan

[steve j]

After a good cleaning session, gotta go for a play. In Barry there is my favourite tunnel, about 50yds long and low and narrow, I give it some welly in there and out of the corner of my eye I see a bloke take a two footed jump to his left and curl up with his hands over the back of his head. Now at first I felt sorry for the poor fellow and then the funny side kicked in :biglaugh::biglaugh; so i went back in and got a good wave and a cracking smile off of him.:thumbup:

I went out and did the tunnels under Leeds city centre last night without the roof on, oh what fun . Shame its a 40 limit but ya can still get a good thrash through the long one so long as you remember to brake for the camera before you exit the last .

I am helping my father move into his new house in Barry, if we have finished in time I will be there.

My folks live in Barry, must visit, where is this tunnel then.

[steve j]

Silverback, there are 3 short tunnels, all are on the Barry waterfront road, drive past morrisons food store, straight on at the roundabout then 1st left. Double back on yourself i.e. come back through the tunnel, turn left, 2nd roundabout ,turn left into tunnel No2. Give us a shout when you intend to come to this neck of the woods and we can do a tunnel tour, if you are up for it.
cheers, Steve

I'll be up for it Steve, it's all changed since I grew up there, there used to be hundreds of decommisioned steam engines over at the docks.

Remember Bindles? Bloody houses now.
