I was on the Isle of Wight last weekend to visit a friend and lead the Southampton University Hillwalking Club daywalk, and I came across many tunnels and signs to tunnels.

I'm not for a second suggesting that the Boldrewood Tunnel, which may or may not be linked to the Southampton Central tunnel (running from the Chandlers Ford Asda to the West Quay shopping center) is thus connected to the dissued IoW pedestrial tunnel which was built during the war to allow save evacuation from Southampton to the IoW in the event of Soton being bombed. But it might.

But what I am saying is that we must keep our eyes out for tunnels all over the place, you never know where one might pop up. Send all your tunnel related photos to location@boldrewoodtunnelsoc.com and we'll post them here.

Not so much a myth as a legend
