| Approaching the north portal after leaving Kettleness. |
It's looking a bit dodgy up there! |
More evidence of the dodginess of the portal at this end. (It collapsed a month or so later. I didn't touch it - honest!) |
 |

 |
| Looking back from 50yds in. |
There are four shafts. This is the first from the north. |
The first perpendicular shaft. I didn't go down there this time. |
 |
 |
 |
| Calcification of varous colours due to varying degrees of iron oxide contamination. |
Third shaft from the north. |
Water pouring down the shaft. Rocks and debris at the bottom. |
 |
 |
 |
| The second (of two) side shafts heading off to the cliff face. Light can be seen at then end of this one. |
There are a few short stalactities. |

 |
| Shaft four from the north. |
It's not as bad as it looks. Only a bit sloppy. |
Lookingbacl north into the abyss. |

Inside the south portal. A bit of a climb to get out. |
Close up. |

 |
| Time exposure and light painting using my then very basic camera. |
Close up of south portal. |
Footpaths go either way over the tunnel. I went back over the top. I took the right hand path. The walk is highly recommended. It follows the cliff top (and you can see one of the side shaft portals along t he way). |
