A few of my pics from the day.
Markeaton culvert runs right through Derby under city centre streets and according to a mini poll recently very few people know of its existence.
It is fed from the large brook which comes down from Markeaton Park and eventually feeds into the river Derwent.It is a favourite explore of mine.Anyway heres a few more pics.
