Canoes pulled up on the sand at the Strand beach in Townsville with a view of Magnetic Island across Cleveland Bay.
Seizing a rare opportunity to take a closer look at this tunnel which is of course full of traffic 364 days of the year but was closed on New Year's Eve. I've always been fond of the tunnel - and if you get the chance it's a lot of fun to cycle through!
Now for a bit of history:
Also known as the Kingsway Underpass, this tunnel links Waterloo Bridge with High Holborn. Opened in 1964 it occupies part of the space of the original Kingsway Tramway Subway, which was in service from 1906 until 1952 when London's tram network was closed down. Much of the rest of the tram subway still lies abandoned, but isn't accessible from this tunnel despite surrounding it.
Trebarwith Strand is a coastal settlement and section of coastline located on the north coast of Cornwall, 2 1⁄2 miles south of Tintagel. It has 800m of sandy beach, contained by cliffs, in which natural caves are found.
Frequent strong winds off the Atlantic Ocean make for excellent surfing but the state of the tide has a major impact on the beach. As the tide comes in, the sands are swiftly submerged by the incoming seas until all that is left of the beach is the rocks at the base of the cliffs. In the sea beyond low water mark is Gull Rock (or Otterham Rock).
