It presents a significant problem to a tunnel now. Though I did see a floating tunnel as a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanShimmin Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What they won't tell you is that the tunnel was actually completed along with a connection to the island. I'll probably be taken down by the powers that be for revealing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the entrance to the Calf tunnel accidentally when capping a new soda well, near Cow Harbour in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
