This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: With regret:
As the completion date is so far away I have been advised that the best course of action would be to archive this cache - allowing for a new submission when the work is completed.

Please add any information requested or questions or comments for me to read as a 'Note to reviewer' on the cache page. Edit the page and add the note at the bottom. Then, when you are ready for me to have another look at your cache, go to the Edit page and click on the "Yes, this listing is active..." box so I will see it again.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:


Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951. It actually consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 10 ft 6 in diameter, and a larger 12 ft diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 900 ft in length, and lie 40 ft below the river bed. The tunnels are Grade II listed buildings.

At each end, the tunnels are connected to surface buildings by two escalators and a lift. The Waygood-Otis escalators have 306 wooden steps each, and are the original models from 1951. At the time of construction, they were the highest single-rise escalators in the world, with a vertical rise of 85 ft and a length of 200 ft. (In 1992 escalators with a higher vertical rise of 90 ft and 197 ft in length were constructed at Angel station on the London Underground.) The Tyne Tunnel escalators remain the longest wooden escalators in the world.

In 2005 The SoundEx filmed a music video to their song Street Freak in the tunnel. The band were able to close the cyclist tunnel off for 2 days and use it free of charge to bring the tunnel publicity.

The coordinates will take you to a "lookout". The cache is a magnetic micro....use the clue if you get stuck.

Once you have signed the log please place the cache back in exactly the same place as you found it otherwise the clue will make no sense for the next cacher. Thanks
