Nice places to stop off at.....

Thanks Eric, with all that lot we'd better plan our next visit for a bit longer!

I missed this one off the list: https://clearwellcaves.com/

I must find out what parkruns there are around there

Forget the park runs Jim, talk to Johnathon Wright at Clearwell and try spelunking instead.

You've got no chance of getting Jim spelunking Gibbo, enclosed spaces are not his forté at all!!

The tightest underground squeeze I've ever been in...... I had to take my caving helmet off as it was too wide to fit through the gap It was a hole in a downward trajectory between large blown up bits of concrete in Poland at about midnight I had to take the caving helmet off and punt it in front of me with one hand as the hole was too tight to have both hands out in front as that made my shoulders too wide - I descended 'Superman style' being propelled only by my toes. It was worth it though - it gained access to an ENORMOUS WW2 system . Happy days !

Not a chance Eric! Mick is right, I'm borderline claustrophobic and hate all sorts of pokey places to include, but not limited to, lifts, Pendolino trains, aircraft, late model Renault Clios, telephone kiosks and closed doors generally

I like cars that resemble greenhouses on wheels - hence my liking of my Picasso. The AX is small but does not feel small on the inside due to the aforementioned greenhouse effect

Gosh! I feel claustrophobic just reading that Robin... I feel our individual definitions of 'happy days' may be at variance here!!!

This was the way back up and out, Jim. I'm fairly certain my stomach would prevent me from doing this now - a classic case of an interference fit

Daylight's somewhere up this way - own work

I have nightmares about being stuck in a 'chimney' running from one of the caves on Whitby beach to the clifftop, and the tide coming in.
The cave is real enough but there is no chimney nor anywhere else to get stuck.

[bobins]

You weren't a Victorian street urchin in a previous life, were you Steve ? Flashbacks to being sent up the chimneys to clean out the soot ?

[myglaren]

Only when I wasn't busy in the workhouse.
