    A submariner being interviewed on Sky news just said if the vessel is on the ocean floor it’s less than 1% chance of rescue,if it’s bobbing around somewhere on the surface it’s 90% chance.The sub can’t be opened from the inside,the hatch is bolted from the outside.

    I am quite adaptable,been in genuine wilderness many times,but I also like people watching,I am sure NYC-LA overland will be interesting,I could have just flown direct but feel like a walkabout.

    I lived in a caravan in Docklands for a year and a half,loved it to be honest,and lived in Hong Kong which was as densely packed as sardines in a tin,I quite like cities and people.

    Is it the geothermal place on north island?
  22. mackem
    No,it’s ten minutes from home,kempton steam museum,the engines are similar to the Titanic’s so they have a small display in there.

    How deep underground?Would have liked to have a chance to do that.
  24. mackem
    Two identical engines in there,used to pump London water between 1929 and 1980,enthusiasts maintain it now,open a couple of weekends a year,the engines have featured in a few Titanic documentaries.

    Had a good morning and a very interesting tour,the engines are very similar to those in the titanic,I was surprised at how quiet they actually run.Met a guy who came from Australia to see it,I travelled ten minutes.
