After a call from Ashless and a thorough appraisal of the incoming weather,Our team consisting of Ashless,
Johno23,Drama Queen,Timewarp and Kaputnik assembled at our RV point to have a look at Chaddesden Culvert in Derby.After a reassessment of the first point of access we headed to the second.After a brief exchange of hostilities with cheeky,nosey,stone throwing lads we commenced our tour.Here are a few of my pictures.
Taking refuge from incoming bricks,local rabble have no respect for urbex
Approx 100 metres in.
First part is of modern concrete construction.
Ashless and Kaputnik venture into the abyss.
Infeed drain roughly cut in from nearby newbuild estate.
Halfway in and it changes to very new inspection chamber.
We coudnt budge this cover to see where we were
Wonder what happened to the rest of this vehicle
You find the strangest things in these culverts
The second part is of corrugated iron,even on the floor,tricky to walk on
Small waterfall,old meets new
The infall, we did it back to front
Exit into leafy glade,(aka) the jungle,JOHNO lived up to his signature here and fell in the river
We were careful not to disturb the residents on the way back
Apart from the chavs chucking rocks at us and Johno falling in the drink,it was a very pleasant little explore.
More pictures from rest of team to follow.
