Report - Nice 'n' Steady-Carrbrook Culvert-Oct 26th (Making Progress!)

[Parky]

A revisit to Nice 'n' Steady today! I proceeded past where i stopped yesterday for another couple hundred meters, making it to the chamber tarkovsky and his mate went to have a look at it in high flow. I noticed today that the water was slightly higher than yesterday which wasnt much of a problem. Anyway heres the photos!

Stood at the outfall giddy like a child on christmas morning!!!

Making it inside!

This storm water (??) inlet letting out a LOAD of water! This was super loud!

Tunnel getting smaller.. It went to a 5ft rcp, it was way slippier than the 6.5ft section...

It then got rather stoopy.. My back was destroyed!!

Looking back at the 5ft pipe.

The end of the stoopy section!! Phew...

At the chamber here, I quickly got out as the smell was yuck!!

Walking back... in the 5ft pipe here getting covered in cobwebs, still brushing it out my hair...

Little chamber.

This massive penstock... what is it for? Its operated from ground level.. glad to see that in this bit I was able to rest my back.

Roots!!!

Water clashing with my waders.

This horrible slip n slide..

I can see light!! Phew..

And done!

What an interesting explore! Much more progress to be made, but for now im very happy for how far ive got! More soon .


Heres the video i recorded here:

23 minutes of tunnels!!!

it does look alot like a drain, if im honest it really is a drain especially having all the storm water outfalls in it

That drain is actually a brook! Starts near manor top. Can get to Darnall underground from the don. Short stretch above ground , then under again....surface in Bowden woods. Watch the weather......that brook can flood in 15 minutes!!!
