Let's work together on this then.  I've got some ideas too.  Perhaps
we could look after 68,69,82,83,96, and 97?

Sorry.  I should have posted a link or picture.  It's the baseplate
from (among others) 1682 (an awesome set BTW!):

a better picture of the baseplate:

   (don't know why half these instruction scans are upside down!!)

If we used that baseplate, you would have to make sure that your
tunnel lined up correctly.  Incidentally, I do have a couple of these
plates.

Anyway, another method, which may be even better, would be to build up
a bit of a road with plates.  We could leave a main grey plate road
going winding it's way eventually to the tunnel, and perhaps have a
brown or tan trail (hikers, mountain bikes, etc.) leaving the main
road if we wanted.  Lots of options.  What do you think?
