OK
Thought it was independant of the ECML but it's afew years since I read the book about it we di walk a lot of the route between Chesterfield to the other side of Bolsover but they had filled the tunnels in by then although the cuttings and entrances are still there

Pity I can't get and record them now would be good historical records
