Near Miss, Derbyshire - Sept 2012

[PaulPowers]

I first visited this culvert last year and really enjoyed it

The A5004 is an A road in Derbyshire, England running north from Buxton to Whaley Bridge. A large section of the road is called Long Hill. It was formerly part of the A6. It runs through a scenic area of the Peak District National Park. In 2010 it was named as the seventh most dangerous road in Britain

It's just at the end of Fernilee village as you drive from Whaley Bridge to Buxton.

The water level last time I visited was about an inch deep but this time I stepped into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall and was thigh deep before managing to prop myself up on the walls and pull myself up
