Westcliff section ramsgate tunnels 02/06/10

ive posted on another forum ..same report..no time to re do the wording but wanted it up here !!
Westcliff section had been very keen to visit a group of us have been looking into it for ages..and with a little help from knox obs and frosty,thanks for the help guys ,We got our location.theere was too have been two teams of us..one in one out!Due to location and method of entry some of the guys couldnt manage this !in the end my self and james went for it..INTERESTING ENTRY IVE HEARD THE GUYS SAY..NOT ARF'!
Right very limit timed time window cos the guys who where out couldnt be waiting all night so only had an hour to do what we could and without tripod get best pics i could..tried playing with the auto focus using light up areas and then switching to manual but in the end went back to manual focus and considering the cramped flooded conditions and shortness of time i did my best..1 long exposure using some steps..right the hospital section we after wading knee deep in water and very slippy and deepening mud underfoot was aborted shame i wanted to get there..and there was a crumbling chalk fall along the liverpool lawn section so even tho i know it can be done a roof fall of the big variety wasnt sounding fun..but i got what i could
in no particular order and trying to put the in focus ones in..here we go..































Doesnty look deep..it is found an old dinghy with paddle down there lol












Thanks for looking and thanks to all involved..and my tripod is turning up soon..ill go somewhere that i can spend more time to get my pics looking right..last night was a struggle in dodgy conditions but fun tho

Now i knew it was flooded but a very old post i read somewhere said a few inches..i was too the point of just below the knee..and feet where sinking deeper into mud didnt wanna slip fall ruin camera.else id of kept going too my mate behind me moaning ever more to stop lol..and was informed the liverpool lawn is tight crawl on belly so not to touch the roof and risk more coming down,so due to that and running out of time to get back to point of origin missed that too..but glad i did it..shame the others missed out for obvious reasons..they is too fat lol
