byker

This had been somewhere I had looked at getting into for a few months now and back in the spring of this year me and a few people attempted to enter the old world war 2 bunker through the small opening near the outfall but to our disappointment we found that all of the entrances had been blocked...

Good place for a bit of underground exploring, it goes on for quite a distance. The water runs underneath a platform which...

I was really pleased to meet a few more NE members for this one, would not like to chance meeting several local tykes down here without a few mates beside me. Only one way out that doesn't involve swimming in solids. The air on the concrete deck above the Ouseburn and the Ooze is remarkably...

While doing a reccy with dockfunk for a target for tomorrow nights north east meet had a couple of hours to kill waiting for darkness. Decided would have a walk down to the byker culvert and see if we could get in. Access wasnt easy - ***********not posted here ***********. **********...
