A very interesting trip through a 3.5 mile canal long tunnel, eventually emerging at Marsden.
That scene at the end looks like the place where they filmed the one about Compo scooting around in a submarine, but probably not.
You're lucky that you were able to do that. These days, there is no chance at all that junior high students would be allowed to go down in an "undeveloped" cave. If nothing else, the teachers would be told that taking the students on such a trip would take them away from their "studies."Thank you, what an interesting video! Certainly not everyone's cup of tea to be sure, but growing up in Missouri, we were always going to cave tours. My Jr. High school even took us down in an undeveloped cave for 48 hours straight, spelunking and camping underground. It was quite an experience.

Considering my jr. high (and the subsequent high school) were entirely run by defunct hippies we might have done worse than have Seymour at the helm. I think he would have been appalled by the lack of discipline though. It was my primary years they were still allowed to strike a student here and there.Your headmaster wasn't Seymour Utterswaite by any chance?
