good work mate. I'm impressed you made it all the way to the far end. Me and the misses gave up after an hour or so.
made a crappy little video of our visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUGacJfqKQ&list=UUFBX9Fm8B3YnnZ2j11rCpKA

Not a bad vid mate, you definitely should of walked a little bit further where the best part is with the vertical pipe.

All I can see is spiders

This is what puts me off about this particular adventure! There was a shot a few years ago of the tunnel under Gadebridge park and the ceiling was fully black with spiders!

Bumped into a few Cave Spiders in Culverts locally. Big buggers, but they are harmless.

An aussie reading this would probably think, nah mate, they ain't spiders!

I didnt even notice the spiders till i posted the photographs and someone noticed them They were no problem and you should get down there if you are local it was a nice walk, just check the river level and rain forecast of course before heading down there.
