Thanks CJ. Very little to smell here tbh, but when there is it all adds to the general atmosphere anyway. And sometimes it’s the sewerfresh smell that can help you find new things, if you sniff the right lids ;-)

Ha! I’m just waiting for it to stop raining EVERY DAY so I can check out a few recently sniffed lids without drowning! ;-) Work in progress at the moment, other than the reports I’ve already posted...

Listing needs doing! You’ll have plenty of leads when you’re out and about again then.

Should have added this to the report initially, so have done it now... It is likely that the mechanism was removed during the renovation works that took place in 2016 - see this blog for more info and photos of the renovation: https://ramseytunnels.wordpress.com/repairs-2016/

Thanks for that mate.

I like signage too, but seems overkill designed to keep people out. Were there even any rats down there (weils disease risk), or any risk of drowning in there at all as the sign says, seems not to be too deep, unless the danger is that the penstock at the end could close and trap someone in? This one tidal at all?

There’s always the potential for rats (I didn’t see any here, but I had had my eyes pecked out by the pigeons). And I suppose you can drown in a puddle if you try hard enough, so it’s not wrong... just covering themselves I guess. As if anyone’s going to go in there anyway ;-)

Don't forget you can also catch weils from cows too. Did you see any cows down there?

There was one in the right hand tunnel but I kept out of his way.
