Report - Blood Creek, Stoke on Trent - March 2015

[paulpowers]

The area known as Cockster Brook is a wild park bordered by Longton South, Blurton, and the A50.

The Brook itself is now culverted under the A50 where it eventually reaches a processor and the slide.

The culvert starts out with an 8foot corrugated metal pipe and gains a reinforcement ledge at each side around 300m in and then becomes RCP.

It's slippery as fook and I almost went over about a dozen times, it's all fun and games

The 2nd to last is the sewer that runs overhead, the last pic is the watercourse which continues upstream of the slide, the bit to the right of it is a screened CSO which serves the sewer

The small side a while before the big'un can be a bit problematic when there's a decent flow coming through.

I'm eager to get a bit further up but still not managed to find anything that isn't miniscule further upstream.
