How often do you get to cycle through a disused railway tunnel?

Interesting experience! Need good lights as obviously it is very dark. Surface is not good, quite a few puddles and potholes, need to take it steady. The notices at the entrance actually advise getting off and pushing your bike through but I wouldn’t have thought this was necessary if you were a reasonably good rider and had lights. I rode through OK although got a puncture!

There is a good coffee shop at Waterloo Farm Leisure just off Brampton Valley Way about half a mile from the Great Oxendon tunnel entrance on the Market Harborough side.
