"White shite caves" Overflow Drain - Pumpherston, W. Lothian April 2008

[MonkeyGirl]

This is the drains at Pumpherston Bings, at West Lothian. I always called em' the "white shite caves" because my granda used to talk about them when he was a wee lad and used to play in them and swim, and obviously these are too modern, but there the only thing I could find in the area he was talking about. He passed away so I can't ask him again where and what they were.

Any way, been here a few months ago. Due to the fuel crisis we could only do something local, so decided to do a revisit here and go a little further. The tubes spread off into a few directions but eventually they become too small to walk comfortably in(even at 5"1 hehe), so again had to turn back.

Some piccies anyway

Very nice. Thats a big searchblaster you have, what kind is it?

 

[Sabtr]

Very nice. You have managed to light up the tunnels in a good way with a mix of colours. Although the drain is obviously modern it still has an interesting look to it.
BigLoada - the silver search blaster is the same as the modified one I have.
