The darkest dark you ever saw

Neidpath Castle open day. 

K was kind enough to drive us down to Pebbles, we walked along the river to Neidpath Castle. A lovely woman gave us a potted history and let us roam around from the leads on the roof to the oubliette/wine cellar. 

Afterwards we went in search of the newly opened tunnel on the dismantled railway. At the entrance we discovered that only one member of the party had any kind of torch. So the four of us walked through the pitch black following the small glow of A's phone torch. It is amazing how humming the theme to the Twilight Zone can irritate people if you time it right. 

We emerged, after about three minutes, into bright sunshine and declared ourselves intrepid adventurers. 

Then home and rosti for tea.
