I am asuming that because you were on a biking trip, and were visiting the site of the great escape, you replicated the famous bike jump over the border's fence.
The fourth Great Escape tunnel has been excavated and re-sealed by British experts. See the fascinating details discovered about George in an exclusive 7 September 2011 article posted on scotsman.com entitled Lost Great Escape Tunnel is Pinpointed.
Theres also tunnel George in theatre i dont know if you knew that its been dug up very soon. We stayed a night in stalag luft 3 in tents around the theatre, the atmosphere from amazing.
@jpjonesy They found parts of a pump, one of the carts and a range of other escape objects. I am not sure it it is still on youtube but there was a documentary by Channel 4 (UK) which followed the excavation, also showed modern day RAF officers digging a new tunnel. I think tunnel george went beneath the theatre into the guards weapon stores- the prisoners wanted to be able to arm themselves in case of emergency.
i visited the museum last month, i did the POW long march with the RAF as a memorial to remember the veterans. It was the most amazing experiance i have ever done in my life and it is something that i wil never forget. Them boys who dug that tunnel are some of the most remarkable men is history.

Yes, a 4th tunnel was called George, but this post-dates the Great Escape.

Has Tunnel George been excavated? If so, when? Also, did they find anything?
