Well I somehow managed to not take any photos the first time I went in here with Muttley and AEM so fast forward 6 or so months a revisit was in order. Somehow I'd forgot how long the starting stoop was
From what I've heard this is an overflow for a storm relief system but luckily there hadn't been any rain (unlike last time when the outfall was mental)
In attendance was myself and a n00b as a couple of others couldnt make it.
Starting off at the Rother it was a quick traverse then down into what feels like endless 4ft stoop
After a while the concrete sections are turned 90 degrees so you can finally stretch the legs and stand up, this doesnt go on for long until it open up a little more
The most downstream CSO was flowing nicely beside us in this section although didn’t smell half as bad as last time
A couple of chambers further up and past a 'messy' CSO we got to the third chamber and despite the metalwork to climb up we couldn’t budge the lid
After this its a long old slippery walk past another few chambers (all with jammed lids) but luckily we had music blasting out to keep us entertained
We finally made it to the exit lid next to where we'd previously played on the skateboardZ
Got a cheeky last shot then after getting stung on the moob by an angry drain-bee we GTFO up the ladder!
All in all it was a good mooch but again I've missed the section further upstream so will have to drop back in sometime...
