Arrow Middle Earth Culvert, Whitehaven 290511 - 30-05-2011, 21:38

Early morning culvert explore not going at all to plan due to an increased water level, myself and The Undertaker decided to take a look at another small culvert which has had us pondering for a short while,
Crawl space only I'm afraid hence the title Middle Earth because I'm sure it was only fit for a Hobbit to walk through, also hence The Undertakers sore knees! :lol:

And on with the pictures.....................Taken using my mobile phone because there simply wasn't camera space.



No shortage of cobwebs, Big cobwebs means Big spiders.



looks as though the original culvert had either collapsed or had been filled, note the difference in brickwork to the right (whitehaven brick)



and RCP ahead making the crawl space even less and also our turning around point.



more big cobwebs on the way out.



The Undertaker on his hands and knees for an idea of scale and how much space was available.



and finally quite a scenic shot of the entrance from the inside.



Send three and fourpence we're going to a dance
