I'm sorry you felt claustrophobic and did not venture inside, perhaps another time. I have experienced that feeling too. When I was a child the narrow passageway did not bother me at all, but the feeling of uncertainty that goes with claustrophobia kicks in now, and I was happy to reach the end of it and enter the chamber itself. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-76721164941956547352013-01-23T09:08:03.693+00:002013-01-23T09:08:03.693+00:00It's an amazing place and I'd heard quite ...It's an amazing place and I'd heard quite a bit about the complexities and accuracy of its measurements from an Irish physicist. Still and all when it came to going in, my claustrophobia kicked in and I had to wait for my daughter outside. I'd loved to have gone to the centre but not enough to put up with the feeling of panic.
