Tavistock canal 1.5 Mile tunnel!

[@grahamcarter8499]

It’s like something out of a Disney World ride... but for real.. no fake stuff here. Great Video. I’ve done underground caving with water like this, but in the tropics, with high heat and humidity. Good respect for you guys.

[@torsandmore]

Appreciated thanks, really was like an epic Disney ride!

[@briancotton5381]

Crazy, I was freaking out just watching. Brave

[@laylarodriguez1710]

I find it scary but soooo coool ! Thank you for sharing your trip💜

[@torsandmore]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

Fantastic Views!. Subbed. Thanks for sharing.

[@torsandmore]

Awesome, thank you!

[@SPd.Triple]

Brilliant ,liked and subscribed!

[@jobloggs6528]

Excellent vid, well done guys!

[@Biffo1262]

That's one heck of a flow for a canal.

[@davegillman6296]

It was built that way to power water wheels

[@marknorman4389]

Good video chaps. Wouldn't mind having a crack at that. Launch in the park?, also anything we should look out for? Cheers in advance

[@TheGashifamily]

This is so cool 🤩

[@jay.t.foulds]

Kayaking...awesome. Something I used to partake in quite a bit. That would have been an awesome outing.

[@torsandmore]

mate was so cool!! def doing it again soon!!

[@chrispethick]

Are you from Tavistock? My parents live there and I’d like to do this. Once you get to Morwellham Quay does it join straight on to the River Tamar or would you need to get out?

[@mikezcartlidge1984]

Really interesting.

[@Ulfurond]

You paddled past my house, so weird seeing the bridge I cross everyday! hope you didn’t catch weils disease!

[@stephencrowther524]

Tens of thousands enjoy Britains waterways every year and don’t contract Weils disease !

[@seventeesweremagic]

Very interesting, I live pretty close to this and always wondered what this tunnel was like, so thanks for the great video. Quick question, you mention airshafts, can you actually look up and see daylight? Thanks

[@malcwhite]

I wondered that as well

[@Nick_G7IZR]

What's the flow like with a view to paddling it back? I assume you did rather than get out at the end?

[@UncaDave]

Pretty creepy!

[@amandastephens9552]

Didnt know you were allowed through there, or is it a case of catch me if you can?

[@UncaDave]

Great job fellows!

[@b.i.s9915]

Very cool

[@jsrides2065]

Great to see inside the tunnel been on the cannel many a time but never down to the tunnel

[@SuperLanyard]

Crazy!

[@lauragriffithsoutdoors]

Omg this is so scary but cool, i dont know if i could do it or not but am really tempted, will have to get someone to join me! I think the shiny stuff is fools gold like in the potatoe caves in dartmoor

[@slarratt]

I am game if you are! Live locally and am level 2 sea kayak instructor, would make an immense video for your channel 🎉

[@maffersnshazzasbigadventur9135]

I've walked the tunnel which was quite time consuming... 2.5 hours to go up and down taking pictures and exploring the mine entrances within

[@robertthomas603]

I had wrongly assumed that the tunnel blocked with with grill to prevent people entertering, looked like a fab trip but would have loved to see a bit footage at end to show its relationship with Morwellham.

[@torsandmore]

A fair comment, wish I had done so. it is off a dirt track about half a mile back up the hill in some woods.

[@mr.berlingo8211]

Almost immediately after the tunnel, the canal turns sharp right, there is then a closed sluice gate just before a bridge for the footpath from the road down to morwellham. After this point the canal is dry. Where the canal turn sharp right there is another sluice going straight ahead. This feeds the hydro scheme down by the Tamar. The water course is barely visible after the sluice.

[@OscarFerris-nu1xm]

I live in tavistock , and Wang to do this , is the tunnel still safe?

[@yorkiemalone8727]

BRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLANT

[@cr0w-qz277]

very cool, had no idea this was here. The shiny stuff looks like iron pyrite bacteria.

[@torsandmore]

not silver??😪😪😪😪😪lol

[@martinoutdoors6941]

That was epic

[@chrispethick]

Did you go back through the canal to Tavistock afterwards?

[@leongrigson7390]

So who owns the world record for the fastest trip through the tunnel.. Or yet to set the record

[@jonathangiddings4907]

Very brave

[@bugsy742]

Boys - great video, absolutely fantastic but WHY did you leave the wallet there! 🙄😅🤷‍♂️

[@3kingsadventures]

My sons and i did this recently when the waterlevel was zero

[@bigearedmouse17]

My Claustrophobia would not allow me to do this.

[@stephencrowther524]

Why not use a canoe with some directional stability ?😂

[@malcwhite]

Some history would have been good

[@slarratt]

Like when they passed the birthplace of sir Francis drake...

[@Ukmongoose3]

Stephen King

[@geoffb108]

Why the hell would you leave the wallet there.? It could be a clue to a long lost paddler. Leaving it there is irresponsible

[@EngineEngineer]

Seriously 🤣

[@BushKayakersCampingAustralia]

dodgy place. no turning around

[@Ulfurond]

You paddled past my house, so weird seeing the bridge I cross everyday! hope you didn’t catch weils disease!
