    I worked at University of Oxford and actually read T.E.Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) account of his adventure through this tunnel

    Hi, Rob. A group of us navigated the Trill Mill stream by canoe in the early 1970s. It would be great if you could include our expedition with the three you have included so far.

      Brave you! I would love to include your adventure but cannot modify videos once published on RUclips. You have delete the current one and start from scratch. Maybe I'll do a follow up some time. Do you have any photos?

      @@RobsOxford no photos, unfortunately, but lots of memories between those of us who navigated the stream. One in particular - we hired canoes at Folly Bridge and headed off upstream. But we returned to Folly Bridge from downstream. No-one noticed 😀

      @@paulbutler9731 Hà, thats an amusing tale. Can you recall how you got in at the upstream end. Almost impossible with a canoe nowadays.

      @@TheRobWaltersShow The entrance was open in those days. We just lowered the canoes down to the water and away we went. A lot easier than walking, like in the video you referred to. A friend waited at the Ch Ch Memorial Gardens and he could hear us talking long before we appeared.

      Me! There's a very similar, brick-lined culvert which carries the River Lavant beneath the centre of Chichester in West Sussex! It's a fascinating explore and easily done in Summer when the river completely dries up!
