Tunnel Vision

It's always exciting when serendipitiously a new location rears its head. Patience has never been one of my virtues so when I read a blog post which featured yet another tunnel at Helensburgh, I was keen to venture down the coast immediately to investigate. Approaching the tunnel I had no misgivings as access was clear and it was a short walk from houses.

From reading the blog post I knew the tunnel was extensive but had no intention of exploring  the depths by myself. Call me paranoid or a pessimist, I'm happy to accept either, but I don't intend to take risks for a photograph and with no mobile reception and no one knowing where I had gone, I was keen to simply locate the tunnel and do a cursory examination. 

Once past the initial gates there was yet another entrance but the floor was very uneven and the feeble light from a  headtorch with draining batteries was unable to display enough of my surroundings to make exploration viable.

I ventured only as far as one more entrance and then it was back to the open air and daylight.
