Time was there were no lights in this, quite an experience cycling through it. Locally known as "half mile tunnel", although not sure it is that long.

"Half kilometre tunnel" would be pretty close to the mark, I think.

Sounds about right, 1/3 mile according to my bike computer thingy -- Seen in your Bristol to Bath, 23 May 2007 set. (?)

Did anyone see the Tunnel Vision installation there by Luke Jerram last year? info.uwe.ac.uk/news/UWENews/article.asp?item=790&year... No, but wish I had. I've got several routes to work and use the tunnel at least once a week, not sure how I missed it!

That's bad luck, I thought it was pretty good, not life changing stuff, but good :-) Mind you it was ruddy cold the night I was there :-(

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Bath Fine Arts and Photography Group (BFAPG), and we'd love to have your photo and other from the Bath/Somerset area added to the group. david:>)

Lol! Thanks for putting me straight! Extract below of the group's remit. "This group is for works of fine art and serious photography created by those working in, or inspired by, the ancient City of Bath and its surrounding counties (Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, and Somerset)........Bristol has a number of flickr groups devoted to it especially www.flickr.com/groups/bristol/ and this is the proper repository for such works, but the BFAPG accepts both images and members from the Bristol area." In this case the image was of the Bristol/Bath link so I asked for it to be submitted. david:>)
