Down Below - Stoke on Trent - Feb 2012

[PaulPowers]

As I was in Stoke anyway I decided it would be rude not to pop down a drain

Down Below was I believe discovered by LittleMike but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

The outfall is a 5 foot box affair which leads to two RCP which then join back up for a bit more box then it splits again into an 8 foot RCP and a much smaller RCP

I followed the larger pipe and the smell of fresh, after 15 - 20 minutes I arrived at the poop processor where I watched Stoke fresh flow by for a few minutes before heading out.

On with the pics

Eeeew!
I don't know how you find these places! Fantastically lit shots as usual!

I think it's a bit of a case of if in doubt, LittleMike probably found it!

Looks stinky.

I have a list of every CSO in the uk

Yeah it was stinky I wouldn't even call it water that I waded through, the wife wouldn't even let me in the house till I stripped off outside

Your wife is very forgiving. I think I'd insist that you be sandblasted.
