Last comment I promise, I really love the way you get your kids involved, it's so refreshing to see youngsters out doing this instead of playing on computers all day, wish I lived down your way and could tag along, don't get underground much these day as I have no one to go with, I use to explore the Bath Stone Quarries every weekend, still do the odd trip tho if I can rope people in on an explore.
Oddly enough I'm going underground later today, Brown's Folly Mine and Swan Mine near Bath, check it out sometime it's not a million miles from you guys.
Well worth waiting for,I must go complete this again for myself,I climbed into one of the sections on right going down through where all the ochre coming out but didn't go far without it getting tight a short way in
Just found your channel. Last on bridge first I saw. Xi wonder why there's no rails in the mine floors. What country are you in, England? Don't hear any accent. Are the boys your sons? ❤
Hi Thomas , ok so this tunnel was for barges. The materials were moved by men with poles. Similar to the boats in Venice Italy. We live in Devon , Southwest England. Yes these are my sons. Our last name is King . Hence the name : 3 Kings Adventures
Nice little adventure, That cable is for a telephone system for boats that go through the tunnel at high Water, to let the company know the location in case of problems. There is one just like it in the Derbyshire Caverns / Blue John mines. Glad to see you had your Oxygen monitor with you.! (The Lighter)....
The lighter lol. Do you explore stuff like this too ? How long is the tunnel in Derbyshire ? We really enjoyed this explore but I will come back to do the side shoots etc. Cheers for the info. I could see the positive and negative. Thought it was to do with water levels ?
@@3kingsadventures Carrying an Oxygen monitor underground is essential. If you have a lighter with you, it can indicate low Oxygen by the height of the flame above the lighter compared to outside. The bigger the gap, the less O2 there is, but it can't tell you %. No idea how long the Derbyshire tunnel is. The boat driver had a can of WD40 to use on the buttons as he pressed it to let the topside know the position of the boat. He also used it as a flamethrower out the front to light up the tunnel ahead. Don't try this at home....
I believe its a memorial and also a tribute to the construction of the canal tunnel. The arches represent the steel structure of the tunnel. Has a nice poem about the men who poled material down the canal.
If you message us on Instagram I'll give you some hints. We try to keep all locations private to help preserve it. Sometimes if too many people know they will either tighten security or it will get destroyed .
I'd just tell the lady on the bridge to do one, surely she can't stop you as she doesn't own the canal, even if she did I'd tell her to come down and get me out if she's not happy, pretty sure she wouldn't want to be down there, and i doubt the police would want to venture into the tunnels either.
The chances she would be there though. Omg. I don't want my sons to see me breaking too many rules or ignoring clean instruction from someone. If she told us to leave. I would have gone. Don't want my kids to think it's acceptable to ignore all safety warnings. Lol. Your right though. I don't think anyone was coming to get us out.
Because we could hear sounds that we couldn't explain. It wasn't scary. We had lights, we knew how to get out. But every so often we all heard a strange noise. From our experience we know which sounds are normal and what isn't. I don't believe in spooks but I couldn't explain the noises. P.s people did die during the build and working in here.
Loved the Video....as for Spooks? If I see one I'll believe it, the words Haunted, Ghost and Paranormal get chucked around to freely these days when more often than not it's natural and can be debunked. Anyway guys keep up the good work, always look forward to your videos 👍
No helmets but all other precautions have been taken. We have a spotter. A leaving time. Loads of redundancy. Pinpoint and tracker. Plus a club with skills to help if we ever needed it. This is a walk in the park
That was a great explore my friend and we loved to see that. Well done and thanks for sharing that :)
Vielen Dank . es war gruselig. Wir beide lieben es, mit unseren Söhnen auf Entdeckungsreise zu gehen
Perfect time of the year to do this tunnel. Planning on a trip through myself.
Definitely recommend it. You can park close on both sides. Easy walk aswell. Bit creepy and smelly on places. We will be back soon forsure !

@richardperry5538 were off to Bude for the weekend. SURF sun and fun

Thank you guys. Another fun adventure for us. Nearly got caught at the start though 😳
@3kingsadventures farmer was around when I showed my lad top entrance in past and we had to hide behind big trees to avoid being spotted

@@G1ZQCArtwork brilliant. Thanks for the reply
Howdy, what is the arched structure on the left at 1:38 ? This is one of your best! 06:20 when Chop says "I dont like doing this,but I have to"

Mate can you tell me why it's haunted....and not because someone else told you or someone died there as that doesn't mean it's haunted?
Because we could hear sounds that we couldn't explain.
