This afternoon, 6th November 2011, the final connection was made in the much postulated 'Three Counties System'. After over 140m of digging through an horrendous boulder choke, Lost Johns has been joined to Notts 2 - the final link in a 50 year+ saga.  It is now possible to go underground in Cumbria, travel below Lancashire and emerge in Yorkshire (if you are hard).  All those involved, from whatever era, should celebrate this fantastic achievement.  The system is now approximately 102km.

:clap: Congratulations. What is the state of the connection at the moment? i.e. passable with care, stay away till stablisation work is complete?
