What and where: the answer

Captain Ahab, you were close with your suggestion of a bridge, but it wasn't on the BCN. I thought you might have got it after you deciphered the number 1166. The letters after the number are YDS (yards).

Flingel saw that, deduced it was a tunnel, knew that I had been in the Crick area, checked the lengths of the two nearby tunnels and came up with the correct answer.


Yes, this is the east portal of Husbands Bosworth Tunnel (or north portal, if you like), photographed leaning over the edge (not too far, obviously, or that would have made for a rather more interesting post!) - hence the upside-downness of the inscriptions.

In this photo of Just Siviting approaching us you can see right through all 1166 yards of the tunnel. It's that speck of light in the bridge hole.


Just Siviting moments later. Just that they didn't sivit.
