Following on from reading another thread and remembering some of where the boggies have been – are there any ridable tunnels anywhere? Do you have pictures?
water of leith path, Colinton, Edinburgh (although it's lit)
Penicuik to Dalkeith cycleway at Auchendinny (just south of Edinburgh) – lit again
Old railway heading upstream on the tweed from Peebles – longer, unsurfaced and unlit
There must be many, many more on disused railway paths.
It's not MTB, but there's the Fishponds Tunnel on the Bristol-Bath cyclepath. I think that the Two Tunnels group is trying to open another S of Bath, towards Radstock.
Theres an old railway tunnel near Ilfracombe that you can ride through, theres a few ones around glasgow too that you used to be able to go through (one off the canal path near Dawsholm for starters) and i'd love to be able to ride the one that goes under Great Western road from the botanic gardens too.
Theres a long one on the isle of wight that starts near St Lawrence and goes through to Whitwell, but i've never been there with the bike and a torch at the same time. Used to be used as a mushroom farm IIRC.
Theres another that goes from Ventnor to Wroxall under the downs, its opened up every few years to allow a walk through.
There is a long dark tunnel on the union canal towpath in Falkirk which I've pushed through with the bike a few times. In Edinburgh there is one on the innocent railway path and another on the WOL in Colinton.
Rode thru the lead mines near Mezica, Slovenia. Guided tours only, and recommended. One of the ST issues couple of years back had a trip report there, but not sure if they rode the mine?
im making a ubrex (urban exploration) tunnel biking film soon 😮
location cant be revealed yet but lets just say its a concrete 8ft high twin tunnel over 2 miles near Edinburgh 😮
my big brother works for SEPA so er…borrowing a key 😉 just waiting on my frame neon lights to arrive 😮
