Holy crap, this explore was packed with laughs and plenty of thinking moments..

Through a multitude of differing terrains we semi conquered this beast.

Although its been explored before by about 2 groups of people, I got the idea no one had gone further than a certain section, due to the depth of water being too much.

Say hello to AndyJ and his full body drysuit, and partner in crime Sneak with trusty chest waders.

Got out at the crack of dawn for this one not knowing what to expect. Arriving we got kitted up and entered the beast. Very very nice large cut stone section, going for quite a way. Twisting and turning, with slight changes of construction as you went on, its was a superb section of culvert, I'd say the best damn quality of structure culvert wise I've seen to date, brilliant.

We ended up at the section of deep water, letting andy lead the way to check it out I had a breather. Watching him wade through the waist deep water knowing I would be doing it next and I had a rather large hole appear in my waders. Bah bit of water never killed no one...did it Bungle..

Feet slightly soggier, we soldiered on. We were now at a minging as hell concrete RCP pipe section, that went on for, well, forever. We must majorly stooped a good 500-600M. It was horrid and back breaking, oh and did I not mention the fact the fookin roof was literally LINED in ocre alot of the way. Andy looked like he'd been rollin in the stuff, His bag was absolutly COVERED. LOL, very funny stuff

Ended up escaping via a very high manhole. This wasnt as simple as would be first thought, due to the fact that you basically had to climb up into a section of the ladder shaft that had NO ladder, it was simply a fookin hole between the two sections which you had to climb up through. We ended up using a selection of slings, krabs and rope to get the hell out without risking death. After that it was a case of climb the last few step irons at the top of the shaft, and with last ounce of strength, push the huge manhole out the way. FRREEEEEEEEEDDDOOOMMMMM!

Where was we your wondering? In the middle of some seriously overgrown bushes, on a school field, absolutly not a clue in teh world.

Muchos fun had by all.

I even got AndyJ to give us a BRRRRRAP!!!





















Cool pipe that led in through the roof. was all in stone too, needs some more checking out this!
