Skipton culvert (Spider-man drain)
A nice underground explore in Skipton with Ultrix who recce'd this culvert the other week. I think he will put some words and pictures up later. The culvert section we did featured 4 underground sections from boring concrete to brick lined tunnels. One of the tunnels was back breaking low, I was bent over so much I couldn't move my legs, I had to walk sidewards in an almost Space Invader fashion to get anywhere Ultrix is ultra flexible, climbs about and gets in the smallest places with no effort at all. I've named the culvert the Spiderman drain after him as he found it as well. lol
.
The sun was shinning straight into the tunnel lighting up the entrance nice and blue.
A side passage ran off but the water level was a bit on the deep side at the far end.
A nice jungle feel to things in the out door section.
The dolly bird crossing the bridge never noticed the 2 mad men wading through the stream below.
The third underground section.
Corrugated section.
OOPS! No entry. It's a good job we were coming the other way and never saw that then
The last underground section. A new R.C.P had been built parallel to the old tunnel.
It's a bit of a slippery twister inside WHOOSH!!
This is as far as we went as the next section required waders so there's a whole lot of tunnel in this one still to explore.
Hats off to Ultrix for a good day out.
