Hi, Im new to the forum though I've know about this site for a number of years now.
Recently I took two trips to Sandsend and Kettleness Tunnels and using different cameras and techniques attempted to get a good set of photos to cover the major aspects.
I would add a section on the history of the tunnels, but I see that these are well covered in both photography and information from other users who have done a great job from their own visits.
In regards to uploading photos to the site, I'm still a little unsure but I do hope they both appear and come out well if they do. Enjoy.
The first adit encountered when travelling north through Sandend. I managed to get all the way through to the cliffs this time.
The second adit encountered. This one was flooded though on my last visit I managed to travel quite a way down before I became concerned. It looks to be blocked.
One of my light painted photos looking towards the south portal of Sandsend.
The mist in the tunnel proved difficult to allow the torch light to penetrate right down the bore.
Kettleness.
You really get an idea of the gradient of this tunnel especially after light painting.
My first visit into the now flooded Sandsend adit. The smell of tar/oil was unbelievably strong which was one reason why I didn't go any further.
Inside the adit of Kettleness which looks to have been mined for Jet.
Looking into the adit/mine from the tunnel.
Looking in from the cliff at the most open part of the adit/mine.
Another shot looking towards the south portal of Sandsend.
