Ventured into the downstream inlet, this time prepared with waders to combat the mud of death!
Went into the inlet and the first low stretch, then it opened into a bigger tunnel, past this a concrete box section and the mud. Sorry most of the pics were point and flash. Ive tried my first bit of light painting further on.

There were quite a few shafts upto manholes:

But they were solid and heavy!

It was thick and unrelenting for some way I was beginning to doubt it would subside when I eventually found I could balance ontop without sinking!

The tunnel opened up into brick. after this the going was much easier.

We emerged somewhere in Hulme, and made off home. We did not go very far along the brook, but will go back in sometime soon for the next bit!!
