Yeah, afterall, it's only 300 km of tunnels on multiple levels, accessible by an always changing network of manholes that get welded on a weekly basis.
Why bother with a guide, really? After all, it's dark, |
This is why you need three light sources, not a guide
30 meter under street level, sometimes flooded with water, |
Yes, you will get wet. This is why you need to not be the Wicked Witch of the West.
with constantly changing points of access, |
.
You need one way in and out, it's been there forever, and everyone knows it. It's not the most convenient way to get somewhere like the German Bunker, but it does its job just fine.
| a special police unit dedicated to patroling the place and lots of stucked passageways through which you need to crawl. |
this is why you need to know how to crawl and be able to afford a 100 Euro fine, not a guide
As an experienced cataphile myself that also is a guide and brings "tourists" to the catacombs, |
Oh, I see. You're trying to protect your position. You don't get paid for bringing tourists do you? I bet there's a market for English-speaking Cata guides - we should set something up.
| I tend to give a load of crap to "tourists" and first timers I walk by in there, especially the ones going down without a guide or, as I have seen it many times, a paper copy on 8 x 11 piece of paper of a map that should be viewed at 4 feet x 4 feet. That's pure stupidity. Plus, you won't enjoy it. |
This is why you need a decent map, not a guide. The exploriographies one isn't the best, but it'll keep you from getting lost. But yeah, the place is mostly fun with other people, but then again so is everything.
Yeah, go ahead, you don't need a guide *rolls her eyes*
You info proves my point. Petite Ceinture is what you are referring to. If you can't even name the proper, most well-known access point to the network, it definitely demonstrate you do need a guide!
|
Sorry, I should have said I didn't need a guide - nor did at least another dozen people I know who also can't spell "ceinture." Maybe I should brush up in case next time I run into an evil Goblin Prince who'll throw me into the bog of eternal stench if I answer his questions on French Spelling wrong.
I think I just made the mistake of thinking that knowing how to use a map and a flashlight and not being scared of tunnels were part of "UE."

| | | | If I didn't take a guide, I'd sure as hell want other, experienced UErs with me.
But yeah, that would be so badass! I want to go.
