Derby Flo Selecta - Aug 2011

[PaulPowers]

I was driving through Derby and decided to drop in on Flo selecta, basic history is that it was built in 1938 and it's 2.2km long.

I don't know if there as anyone that hasn't been down here it's fast over-taking Middleton as derbyshires tourist hotspot.

And seriously what is with all the doggers in the car park I felt so awkward heading back to my car with people shagging everywhere!

There are lots of these guys

A mile in and time for a smoke

After a while I got bored
It's basically this in a pretty straight line

The reason all the long exposure pics are on the floor is one of my tripod legs got snagged and snapped on the fence

where are the fish at the outfall spent ages trying to catch one was wicked fun

 

[PaulPowers]

I didn't see any but the water level was really low, I was hoping to see some

Now doggers are an unusual adition to an explore!

I never expected to emerge from a drain and to be the person giving funny looks to everyone else

Did you not get any pictures?? Poor show!
I've noticed a few at places around here. Maybe there should be a new adult section in the forums.

Nice pictures mate.

Nice report, one question, though: Who gives all these crazy names to culverts and drains?

 

[dsankt]

I haven't been there

Names are usually created by the first person to explore the drain/sewer. You should see some of the Australian names for drains

 

[PaulPowers]

The first person names it

I've found a new culvert near me that will be called Frank

Nice shots mate, bugger doing something that dark on my own :0

 

[PaulPowers]

I do most of my explores alone

To be honest I find it a lot more relaxed alone
