Scout Tunnel

A look at the Mossley end of Scout Tunnel on the Huddersfield narrow Canal. At 615 feet long it can feel quite daunting to walk (or I dare say, cycle) through here especially without some kind of torchlight. A lot of narrowboats would have come through here in its heyday but now they are a rare sight. The other end is in the small town of Stalybridge. It has recently had restoration work to stabilise the roof and towpath.
The PiP shows the entrance on approach.

Enjoy the weekend.

Great stuff. A long dark tunnel to walk through in the dark. At least on the footplate you're through much quicker!
HFF Herb & have an enjoyable w/e.

Thanks a lot Gordon. I know I have put another fence up like this once but not here -maybe in Panoramio. Glad you liked it.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Dark and atmospheric and I love the light at the end of the tunnel Herb. I would personally be happy to reach that point, - I read to many crime thrillers to be comfortable in dark places like this!!!! An excellent capture and the PiP is very attractive.

HFF and have a good weekend

Marvellous images, Herb. I could well imagine that heading through there without a good light would indeed be something of a challenge. HFF and have a great weekend.
