I remember being able to hear th ocean crashing on the rocks above your head and that constant dripping of sea water through the rockbed..... Loved it.... ( Thanks Colin Benton!)

Guys the tunnel is no longer in use they are keeping the seapage water out only, as soon as they have decided to close the tunnel i thinks they are going to pull the plug they are proberly going to remove all the rubish before they do that
