Anyone watching the series? The first episode is covering an ancient cave, an underground power station and prehistoric bones
It's really interesting getting to see something the public normally don't.

I thought that as well especially in those shorts..
Interesting programme so far I find these sort of things fascinating.
Just hope you do not have to leave by the emergency exit! :):)
The method of getting into them was a bit scary - imagine being stuck! Inside was incredible, especially the echoes.
They did not show but there are heaters every few hundred yards along the pipeline up the hill. I tried 'found' and photographed most of them and put on FLICKR and Canmore. Lots of images of Inchindown and Wee Fea on Canmore.
There is an alternative way out on the other side of the tank. You would have to use a rather oily ladder (we carried ropes when there with another film crew) but a stretcher could be hoisted up if necessary.
There have been a series of open days - into the tunnels only! Air quality was checked beforehand and structural checks made on the tunnels. There was a MRT and RNLI presence to ensure qualified first aiders.
There is a list of others here.
