I loved the timelapse in the tunnel. The music kind of broke my zen. I would love to hear the engine loudness and the water drips/downpour/echo through the tunnel. Great video!
The concrete sections were installed in the 1980s when the tunnel was collapsing and unusable. Money came from the Channel Tunnel project to test the concrete pre-formed structures held in place by steel wires that eventually went to be scaled up and used in the Channel Tunnel construction.
In real-time these tunnels seem to go on for ever. You can see the end in the distance but it stays in the distance for such a long time you begin to wonder if you are actually moving at all.
Widebeams are only allowed through at certain times, and they have to book a slot. CRT workers will be in attendance at each end to control boats coming in and out.
Great to watch this without going through it myself. I hate tunnels!

Time-lapse videos do not record any sound at all. So the engine noise you heard was recorded on another trip some time ago and added on.
This other video of mine - going through the Snarestone tunnel is in real-time and has real engine sound. czcams.com/video/mmgUEA7N3Dc/video.html
I disagree - the music's perfect
Agreed I stopped watchnig. The cheesy 80's nintendo music is just awful.

music is spot on

Wow a lot of bricks there!
Really quite colourful as well.
I feel like this is the music a boater would actually hear if they time-warped through this tunnel.
There seemed to be a lot of water coming down the air shafts considering the weather seemed fine either side!
It was very wet in there, I had my trusty umbrella with me.
Nice to see some more videos Phil. So how long did the tunnel take in real time?
I was going more or less on tickover. It took about 40 minutes or so.
Includes showers at no extra cost :-)
It's often very wet in tunnels, and you can't always see it coming.
How would someone approach that in a widebeam boat? assuming they cant pass another oncoming vessel

@@NarrowboatJourneys Thank you !
So you did about 3.5 miles and only had 1 boat come the other way... That's the life lol
I choose my boating times very carefully.
I dug that one afternoon during my lunch break. I used my desert spoon after I finished my pudding. True story. You're welcome.
The filming is brilliant but why the comedy music ??
Why not? You can turn the sound down or off if you like.
