Scout Tunnel

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!

We have been through there a couple of times. Once without a torch. It feels pretty dark in the middle.

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

Stabilising the roof sound like a sensible idea.
I don’t think I want to walk through.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thanks Colin, always good to see you here. Yes, its always good to know that both the path and roof is solid when you go through these. We have done a few like this and its always an experience.

Hi Herb. From the approach pic it looks quite benign but up close it looks claustrophobic…rather you than me! Have a top week..D
