Visited with ConcreteJungle
After finding an easy route into this CSO a while back, CJ got in touch about it, so we decided to have a browse and document it fully.
I have to say, the trip did not get off to the best of starts.
I think I've got a wader leak.....ahh, shi......
me too...I think
crap! Good things come to those who persevere so off we went.
We reached the penstock room first

The weir past the penstock was a bit steep and with the flow of poop picking up pace it was a no go.

Going upstream, we were amused by the turds and rats

It's worrying me, should I kick it into the poop flow?
No, that'd just make it angry
Heeding CJ's advice and being slightly worried by the thought of angry rats, we carried on
Three words: Straight, long, turdtastic
We must have waded 1-1.5km or so then turned back - The air was getting worse and the turds deeper, with no change in architecture for the 200m or so visible, we took some pictures and turned back

My lidl waders had reached the end of the line, and my jeans soaked with turdy water. Only one solution:
awwwwwwwwwww yeeaaahh. Cutoff jeans. South Africans, rejoice!

Back to the cars we went, bemused looks from motorists at the barefooted dude in denim hotpants.
This is draining. I think
Shouts to CJ. Good times. Looking foward to seeing your pics. Post away!
Apologies for all the drain posing but I do believe it is "de rigeur" :)
