(x2 reports). The UK's longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel has been opened to canoeists for the first time in its 200-year history.
Standedge Tunnel runs for 3.5 miles (5.6km) under the Pennines between Marsden in West Yorkshire and Diggle in Lancashire.
The Canal & River Trust charity is offering guided canoe trips through the tunnel over the summer.
Volunteer Gordon McMinn, from the trust, said the trips were "a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list opportunity for keen canoeists".
