We pulled manhole up under some bushes and disappeared. The top of the system where we had entered finally linked up to Blood Red after a mile or so, massive thanks given to Pace & Droid because I wouldn’t have known the watercourses route without them.
After walking as far as we turned around and sat in one of the many chambers with a brick staircase and wooden slated rooftop. The cameras came out and we took pictures on our return journey to Sui’s motor, going through RCP coated with a layered resin, RBP, egg shaped brick pipe, concrete & brickwork chambers up to the grated infall.
We had our own ideas to name the top of this culvert, some of these being; Roots Manuva, Silt Makes You Sick, ha!

Very good shots you get down there with little light. Is this stuff you do strictly legal – no, don't answer that.

Tell you what I'll show you how I found them. You'll need a set of Manhole lifting keys because you can't just walk into the drain.
