Had the exact location for this one forward on to me from Nuboid ( cheers mate ) otherwise you could have walked past it without noticing ! parking up on Dealburn road i climbed in to the culvert at the side of Victoria park . paying no attention to the caution contaminated water sign i was kitted up and in without any fuss

Not surprising with all the rain we have had there was a fair flow tumbling down the steps
P8060505.JPG


P8060507.JPG
was roaring away then a change to RCP
P8060508 - Copy.JPG


P8060509.JPG
the bulk of this explore is RCP
P8060511.JPG
little of shot here proved to be a dead end
P8060512 - Copy.JPG
water crashing inn was getting louder
P8060513.JPG
then a change in styles

daylight ahead
P8060520.JPG

red brick pipe with a two way split
P8060523 - Copy.JPG
the left hand junction was bricked up for some reason
P8060524.JPG
next pic looking back to the entry
P8060528 - Copy.JPG
lovely stone work suggesting that this area was once open to the outside , another change in styles to stone round pipe lovely to see this old section
P8060526 - Copy.JPG
looking upwards there were giant slabs of stone covering the culvert roof
P8060529 - Copy.JPG
this must have been open at one time as suggested earlier , then back up the stone pipe
P8060530 - Copy.JPG


P8060531 - Copy.JPG
change back to RCP with a shower
P8060534 - Copy.JPG
the source of the water
P8060535.JPG
im guessing it must have rained while i was down here as on the way back out this water had stopped ! The flow of water was also faster making it more precarious walking

P8060537.JPG
calcite build up then obligatory 28 pic
P8060539 - Copy.JPG

then back to endless RCP was a long stretch this drain

P8060541 - Copy.JPG
a two way junction now appeared
P8060543.JPG
going straight ahead
P8060545.JPG
dropped down to less than 2 foot here so that was the end of that section about turn and leave this brick built chamber
P8060546 - Copy.JPG
P8060548 - Copy.JPG
back to the junction i had a nosy up the other pipe
P8060550 - Copy.JPG
dropped down to about a meter in diameter but to be honest id had enough and so had my back by now
P8060552 - Copy.JPG
about turn and the long march back out was harder leaving as the flow of water was trying to push your feet from under you so i crabbed sideways to make sure i stayed upright
P8060555 - Copy.JPG
a couple more snaps on the way out
P8060556.JPG


P8060557 - Copy.JPG
and back to the start point , was a good explore this with a bit of all styles a lot longer than i was expecting and the flow made it harder but well worth checking out , cheers for viewing :thumb

Lovely changes from RCP to stone and brick. The calcite is very photogenic. Looks like a long one this. :thumb
