Decided this evening to have a trip to Haslingden to look for some culverts.

The map said that there was 2 on Swinnel Brook.

I found Number 1 culvert not long after wading upriver.

This one was around 196Metres long

A mixture of designs (stone arch and stone with concrete roof).




I've named this first culvert "Twistier Blunders" :)

Around 50Metres upstream was another Culvert.

This took the Brook under St Crispin Way.

This Culvert was around 228Metres long.

A lovely stone arch section, then a straight backbreaking concrete part.

I ended up in a locked yard of a chemical place, so had to go back through to get out of the Brook :D


if this is to be named, i'll call it "Crispy Twains".

Thats an interesting little explore or should I say crawl as it looks as though in some places you would have been doing that appart form stooping. Bit worrying the second comes out in a chemical yard though. Well done on that one loved it.:)
 
Thanks both :)

i took the knee pads NC just in case a crawl was in order, but managed to stay on my feet... just :lol:

i didn't like the look of the chemical yard..
all them big containers piled up right next to the brook :(

the brook goes into a park around a mile and a half downstream , then joins to the River Irwell.

i saw a few trout on my way up to the first culvert.
just hope there isn't any spillage anytime.



They're always good for a mooch James :lol:

don't know how i lived before buying some waders.

more coming soon :mrgreen:
