At the end of B2 trhere will be a spare man at the top and a spare lady at the bottom. During the next A1 they should meet each other under the tunnel and join in the tunnel wherever they meet.

Some small variations on a dance collected from Paul Weir who thinks that he might have got it from Brian Jones who might have modified it from Muffin Man Jig (similar dance in a double circle).
