I enjoyed that trip down the tunnel, I had wondered what they were like, now I know.
I noticed a few months ago that there were large tyres marks in the Aits vents at botanic gardens, anyone know what was going on.

Hi all. Myself and friends ahve visited the Kelvingrove Tunnel. You and your pal David, one word for the video, SUPERB. I tpyed Kelvingrove Tunnel into youtube expecting to find nout and I found your video, superb!!!!. I was down taking photographs which were on my sire but unfortunately that had been hacked into so I am the middle of reinstating / adding galleries to the site at present. I have visited the Yorkhill Tunnel vent also just down from the carpark for Yorkhill Childrens' Hospital. I visited the area about 8 O'clock at night with a freind and there was this odd man who was walking down to the western portal from the road as we were walking up the road from the portal to the air vent via the carpark at Yorkhill Hospital. We turned our back for one sec and turned around again and the guy vanished which we found very wierd. We arrived at the air vent and I went down on the pillars and I could hear footsteps for sure and so could my friend so that has gave me doubts about trying to access this tunnel, bearing in mind the eastern portal to the tunnel is filled in inside the live tunnel at Exhibition Centre so when you are in there you need to hope no one is at your back. A good group needed for Yorkhill definitely. Kelvingrove is sacary but no sign of life apart from tennants lager cans and irn bru cans which date back to 1994!!!
Thanks man! Yeah, I'd want to take more than two people if I was going down into the Yorkhill tunnel, even if only for the safety element - you want more than one person to hand if you break your back going down.
I doubt there're any tramps or anything living down there, purely because it's so difficult to get in out of. Is it possible that the footsteps you heard were drops of water falling into a puddle inside the tunnel? You know how when it echoes around the tunnel it can sound a lot louder and more "solid" than you'd expect.
That said - there are a gang of middle-aged boozers that hang out on the adjoining bridge from time to time. I've bumped into them a few times when I've been exploring and they're mostly harmless - only interesting in fishing (illegally) in the Kelvin and drinking Special Brew.
You know you could put that bit in a signature, saving you having to type it each time :) _________________ Now coming at you with 95% more significance, 1% less salt and virtually fat free!
