timble beck culvert, leeds. june 09

last place before we hit leeds pool, not many pics but not a bad culvert. we did scare a mother duck and ducklings, and some of the ducklings got stuck in the currents of the water and swept off, which we chased down and saved, then returned to there mother!

here are some of the pics!

most off the culvert was like the above, in parts the walk way was wider the some streets

sealed off grids

the above pic was my favorite bit of the culvert! holy grail, death or tigers? which would you choose???

Bunker drain, Warrington

Went along with Over with a few other sites in mind in the area, but i was glad we did this one first as it was alot warmer in here then it was on the surface! was my first time seeing the Bunker and its massive, you also don't get a feel of how deep you are till half way through when you are 40ft below a manhole in one chamber! its also full of frogs and eel's at the start! here some of my shots anyway!

this was the first part you see, through them windows as they could be called is the river.

Over and that hat!

one of the many seamingly endless pipes!

this was the chamber when you find out how deep you are! this chamber has 3 levels before you get to the manhole

and finaly one of the residents in bunker!

Manchester meet august 08

The Manchester meet started off as a drain meet and soon turned in to more after a spot of lunch! but it started out as a drain meet. we ( thenewmendoza, bungle666, sheep2405, pr1vate piles, andyj23uk, peanuts, smileysal, fknsamuelbonney and myself) did a few drains which was easy to say the least but it was a drain virgin meet!

the first drain was a river tunnel thing which was quite roomy and none smelly! :)





only really got one photo from the second and it was where the drain met up with a sewer overflow! that's sheep2405 in the pic coming in for a rest!

as i said it soon turned from the drain meet to the what else can we do meet, we could see a mill near to where we all dined and managed to get access in a way which i think must be new to the world of urban exploration! on shear comedy values that is! dont know the mill new sorry!

we managed to gain access to the tower to my delight as i was something to see and also got on to the roof as you can see the door open in the pic below!

lift shaft cables and motor

it then had another turn and went on to Radcliffe school not to far from the mill itself, it was a little creepy walking through an abandoned school as i remember them being place full of people and it was my first abandoned school! found this on the way to asda for mendo's fags!

playing in the gym, found the ropes all still set out and some of us decided to have a swig on them for old times sake!!

overall it was a great day out cracking a few new sites in the not so far off area to myself along with meeting a load of new people which I'm hoping on been able to meet up with again soon!
