Tunnel entrance. The 3 km walk in the tunnel under La Sierra de Cabrera

Tunnel entrance. The 3 km walk in the tunnel under La Sierra de Cabrera
Because the tunnel curves, the distant point of light at the end isn't there, making it very dark and spooky almost immediately.

I was amused by this hike, John because for the past 7 years I must have walked the Sierra de La Cabrera (the western end of which you see here) about 100 times - but never UNDER it! - until today; sorry, yesterday as it's just gone midnight!

Indeed there is, Larry but according to the age-old advice, one should make an exception for incest and morris dancing , and I think that is about right!

That must have been very spooky inside, 3 km sounds quite a distance in the dark!

The track looks in good condition may be there are thoughts it may be used again, we could do with some of the ones that idiot Beeching closed back in use, instead of wasting money on HS2

I agree, Peter.
The line closed only 5 years ago in the depths of the recession. You may be right although 20 miles further up the line a collapsed tunnel has probably given pause for thought!
