This has to be one of the largest overflows I have seen so far.
The overflow is a large retangular shape, almost like a Vortex, It is very deep, muc deeper than I had expected.
First I climbed over the gate of the small tower to walk around and snap a few pics.
Next up I had to workout how to get onto the platform surrounding the overflow, which turned out to be pretty easy once I worked it out.
Walking upto the hand rail and peeping down I was amazed at how deep it really is, even standing at the gate I reallly did not expect it to be quite so big and deep.
Last but not least I had to check out the outfall for this beast.
I wanted to visit this reservoir after looking at it on FlashEarth and noticing the large overflow, anyway onto the pics:
Ermmm I think someone should stick there finger in that
Outlet from the tower
Emergency overflow outlet
I would love to walk this pipe, but that would only be possible with full waders as the water in front is 1m deep and I had no waders
I expect that the pipe is not straight, maybe runs up hill or even round a bend, but either no signs of light from the wide open inlet
Some scenary heading to and from the outlets
