Going underground...

I am hoping to start voluntary work giving tours of a tunnel in the city that was used for transporting coal in the 19th century, and then was used as a bomb shelter in ww2. I had a brief tour last weekend, and today I'm going for the full 2 hour tour! So this is when I learn whether I can cope with 2 hours underground in the pitch dark, without even considering the reduced oxygen levels. Levels have to be min 20% oxygen for the tours to run, fingers crossed all will be ok with that.

It's really fascinating.

All was well in the tunnel I've been invited with the other guides to an afternoon exploring some parts of the tunnels not open to the public, which will be very cool if I can make it. This section apparently has lots of stalactites and stalagmites.

Quite exciting!
