Been meaning to do the Tron for some time, given it is literally at the bottom of my road. Anyhow, finally managed to visit now the water levels have dropped and the temperatures have risen. It's well photographed and here's a bit of history from wikipedia
Visited with two non-members, DT and Kempy. Was a great first underground experience. No rats but quite a few bats. Waders are a definite as water levels are quite high in Megatron itself. I've never taken pictures in zero light conditions before and am learning the technique of light painting with torches so the accompanying pictures are definitely average compared to some of the stunning images fellow DP'ers have managed. Anyhow on with the pictures:
Failed entrance attempt here:

Second attempt proved successfull. This is under the railway station:

Three tunnels run under the station, some are dry like this one:

Popping up for air;

...just at the back of Pond's Forge:

Nice brick work as we pop back underground:

Three tunnels become one again...

...as we reach the hallowed Tron. This one's looking towards Lady's Bridge.

While this one concentrates on the fab brickwork:

The Tron looking back towards the station:

And back towards Pond's forge:

...and the now famous graffitti:

Nice dry section this bit:

...and some tidy arches:

...and back under the station:
img9520_1 by HughieDW, on Flickr
..and out:

Thanks for looking!
