Afternoon all

When I posted on Freds architecture thread last week some piccies of Manchester's quite surreal looking underground tunnels, a few people expressed an interest.

I mentioned they do organised tours. Well they're just anounced some new dates to go and have a look round. Here:

Its bound to be interesting. I've still not been myself, so intend to get booked on now to have a look round

That is all. Stand by your beds

Keith Warrender, who wrote [i]Underground Manchester[/i] has a new book out: [i] Below Manchester: Going Deeper under the City[/i]. He did a talk on Saturday just gone, but I missed it 🙁

Oh, and have a search of the 28 Days Later site - plenty of shots from people "exploring" the tunnels and old streets of Manchester.
