The Tyne Tunnel is a mysterious passageway connecting Tattenhoe
in Milton Keynes with Tyneside. No-one knows exactly how it works,
although it might just involve a car....
Investigations on this phenomenon suggest that any trackables
placed in the northbound entry to Tyne Tunnel somehow end up in
South Tyneside. Trackables from the North-East have also been known
to find their way south.
To use the tunnel you must ensure that you follow the correct
signs.
The journey between the first sign and the northbound entry is
quite short but will be twice as long when the river is in spate or
if you aren’t very agile on your feet. The first sign is near
to the river, so take care if you have kids. As this is a tunnel,
then you can assume that the end point is on the other side.
To find the entry to the tunnel you need to read the following
information from the sign at the coordinates above. It is
wheelchair accessible from the pathway.
-
Which cycle trail is this sign on ? (Answer = AB)
-
In miles, how far is it from here to Winslow ? (Answer =
C)
-
How many letters are there in the designer’s given name
? (Answer = D)
-
And how many letters in his surname ? (Answer = E)
-
In which year was this sign designed ? (Answer = FGHI)
-
How many bolts are holding the sign into the floor ? (Answer =
J)
-
Calculate E-J (Answer = K)
Be careful with "D" - there is an initial, and that is NOT the
answer you need.

The tunnel is a 450ml clip lock box covered in black duck tape.
It is not in plain sight and is not wheelchair accessible. It is a
low traffic area, but there are occasional dog-walking and
horse-riding muggles around.
Please take care to re-hide the tunnel exactly as you found
it.
The northbound entry to the Tyne Tunnel is a small clip lock box
contained inside the larger one. To pay your toll simply leave one
or more trackables in the box and log the drop as normal on the
website. If your trackables don’t fit in the box then it
won't be possible for you to use the tunnel. Please check with the
owner before placing any trackables inside.
Items travelling southbound through the tunnel will arrive in
the larger box and cachers are welcome to take and relocate any
items there. Please don’t remove items from the smaller
box.
Obviously if you can write all your logs in Geordie that'd be
canny, like. Wye aye !
The northbound tunnel entry looks a bit like this, only
smaller....
