Report - Sheaf culverts inc Megatron, Sheffield, May 2018

[stranton]

The Sheaf passes through 2 culverts,
one from Granville Road to Pond Forge via Sheffield Midland Station,
another from Pond Forge to the Don via Castlegate merges by Blonk Street bridge.
Theres a gap with retaining wall between the 2 culverts.
The Porter Brook passes through its own Culvert,
merges beneath Sheffield Midland Station.

Good work @stranton . Must revisit given it's so local...

Good to see a recent report from the sheaf approach. I've gazed upon that flood defence contraption a few times but not actually climbed down to investigate it. When I went a while ago with @tallginge he made it all the way to the weir by walking down one of the sides, right against the wall. I almost managed it but didn't want to risk full wader breach when it got to the deepest bit. And of course there's the sharks. ;-)

Really nice m8ty. Some cracking shots. See you soon..

Nice one stranton, I'd forgotten how good the sheaf approach is. Didn't know there was another way to get to that side of the weir either.
