Chaddeston Culvert Derby

[fezzyben]

After an afternoon of fail trying to find new culverts Ashless, Thompski and I decided to take a look at Chaddeston culvert as I hadn't been there before.
Its between 4 and 500metres long and is half box section and half corrugated steel.
It runs the chaddeston brook under housing and the a52 into the river Derwent at pride park.
Here be the pics.

Myself,Ashless and Thompski at the outfall

The box section woth a handy raised bit to walk on

Thats ASDA price!

Halfway along is a manhole shaft

And finallt thompski being a pic whore

lol at Thompski doing the 'Mendo Brap' lol.

Excellent pics Ben, I loved this place when we did it early last year. Did you have any of the kids who live nearby in those houses saying "oooooooooooooooh it's scary in there, don't go in" etc?

It's a great place to be when the weather is hot.

Excellent work guys,
