don't be silly.
The Kirkbride tunnel has new Iron supports with corrugated sheeting around it to stop sliippage.
Did you really think they would just use metal sheets and no supports?

It seems people here are looking for things to moan about what with secret trusted sources leaking worrying information.

Name your sources! If you know of someone who has been inside tell us who and what they said, don't be vague.

all this information is in the EH updates if anyone bothers to read them properly...

In a word, no.

But in the same fashion, I wouldn't expect corrugated sheets to be sufficient to stop a major slippage. Would you?

I've not been fortunate enough to enter the hill, so can't speak first hand. I'm not sure I'd have the bottle to go in there anyway, having seen the state of the place.

I understand you've been in there Pete? How did you feel at the time? A (truthful) first hand witness report would be good to help dispel any rumours...
