Flo Selecta - Derby - March 2010

[TheVicar]

At around just over 2 kilometres long, Flo Selecta is quite a long drain. The dual infalls are by far the largest of any drain I have seen. A short way down the drain from the infalls, the two tunnels meet at an impressive junction. From here the features are thin on the ground but interesting nonetheless. Towards the outfall, the construction is a modern concrete affair and the drain is just full of fish - some quite large. I don't know very much about fish, but they looked like trout. There were hundreds of them and you needed to be very careful here not to kick or tread on them.
