It was a boiling hot day, and putting on waders over my exploring culottes was an uncomfortable and unpleasant start to the trip. We pressed our hands together, bent our knees and dived in.

 

The culvert would be an ideal test for a powerful new torch. Being underground, there seemed to be little chance of bringing down any aircraft.

It was an interesting drain - the different building types made for nice variety in pictures.

 

It looked to be very well maintained. The brickwork was neatly pointed and there wasn't very much rubbish. As was had arrived, I could see lots of little fish in the water. I didn't see any underground, but I forgot to look. Sorry everyone. I feel like I have let myself down.

 

I did not like the water level mark on the wall in here one bit. I am glad it didn't rain when we were in there. It was a good trip - and one of my favourite drains. I wonder that if I had been told on my twenty first birthday that by the time I was forty I would have a "favourite drain" then I may have considered searching for a length of hosepipe and my car keys.
