i came across this whilst noseing around appleton reservoir.

starting from the reservoir itself this long open tunnel goes under park lane then culverts under houghs lane ,then forms some sort of algea slide behind someones garden then dissapears under the ground and reappeares alongside walton hall golf course.


after a while in the main culvert i noticed mussel shells in the water and on closer inspection the whole place was full of em along with the brook

i name this place mussels culvert

explored solo

(the slide of death) to the left was someones garden so this is as far as i went ,but picked it up where the culverted part ended later on ,it was covered in green algea and was really slippy,one could only imagine what it would be like with a rubber ring :thumbs
