Brush covered Japanese Tunnel on Devils Peak

Lawrence emerging from the tunnel furthest down the slope from the path. And this was after we had gotten rid of most of the vegetation in the way.

Tai Tam Reservoir Japanese Tunnel

Japanese Tunnel Tai Tam Reservoir [c.1942- ]

Date Place completed: 
c.1942-11-30 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Learned about it from a few online sources, also Mr. Cracknells blog as I recall. Went and looked through it this summer. Figured I would add it here. It is reasonably long, going through a ridge I think, 2 exits and a somewhat long side tunnel as I remember. One exit overlooks the reservoir. 

The main access point is right off the staircase leading up from the crossroads of Mt. Parker road/Boa vista track. it is only about 50 or so meters up the staircase just past a power station. The entrance is large and obvious.
