Having driven Yorkshire to Glastonbury in nine, horrible, backside-aching hours on the way down, we took the descision to stop off in Dudley for the weekend on the way back up north.
Ah, nostalgia... my (Ben's) parents are moving house soon, and having grown up with this view, it seemed out this was probably the last time I'd be looking out on it.
We decided to visit the underground canal tunnel tour, as I'd somehow not managed to go before (even with many years of school trips around the limited local attractions growing up).
Well, this was unnexpected... but then the tour guide pointed out they'd been doing an "Alice in Wonderland"-themed trail for Easter. Wonder who'll try paddling around the tunnel on the inflatable one at some point?
Apparently there's an owl lives in that ivy somewhere.
Photographic angles were a tad limited, and my SLR was struggling a bit in the dark, but I thought it was worth experimenting with.
The lighting down the tunnels was creative.
Into the old limestone caverns.
All in all, a very interesting hour or so (and odd that it was our second underground tour in a week). Good to finally tick it off the list, and probably the last time we'd be able to easily do it. Just a shame the camera wasn't quite up to the task.
