drains

I know this post isn't about UK drain exploring, but over the decades there has been some amazing bonds formed between the two countries so I thought I'd post this here. I hope posting the link is ok. And what a great 40 years it has been. More than 200 members & close friends of the Clan...

I'm not into click-baiting people, but I do recommend anyone interested in drains should watch this video. And if you don't make it all the way through, I strongly suggest you go to 17:25 & hear a tragic first hand story that will hopefully stop explorers becoming complacent.

It's been a while since I've done any drains as I've been sorting out some work stuff, but I had a free day so decided to get back into it by finally getting down to the Megatron. I've been down into the Sheaf culverts underneath Sheffield trainstation a few times now, but I've never made it...

Inhospitable + The Works (explored with @Ojay , @MartyZero and a non-member) Inhospitable is a (as the crow flies) 1 and a half kilometer long culvert on the Moss Brook. This drain includes a peculiar feature, called The Works (you will see why its called that soon). The Explore We got to the...

What is the best drain in Australia? This question is deeper than you might originally think, mainly because what a "good" drain is varies from person to person. Hailing from Adelaide myself generally means anything above 2 Meters is considered good (hold your laughter please). However if...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site as a member but have been reading through the massive number of posts over the years - especially on the drainage forums. I find it massively fascinating as to whats under our feet. I suppose the interest with stuff like this came from the old book "Underground...

Having walked the length of most of the storm reliefs and lost rivers I thought I'd take a look at some of the bigger pipes that make up London's drainage system. Bazelgette is famous for designing and overseeing the construction of the Interceptors, which on both sides of the Thames flow from...

*Sorry for mega images. Just started using Imgur as a host* (Dont worry, they'll be small once 4K comes in) Please 'Right Click on image and Open In New Tab' to see properly sized if the massive size offends. You could call this a Curly Pilgrimage. Following in the footsteps of that Ultra...

Concrete! Pillars! Really oddly angled floors! Sewers running in side trenches! More pillars! Deep Freezer Flap Curtains! 'Fake' river outlets! Many ceiling grilles! Map Plaques! Snaps n i did 12 Seoul drains months back, walking close to 30kms underground over 5 days. Never once saw a single...

Slghtly backdated report... I had a look at seven systems in HK, three on the Island, two in Mong Kok and two at Shek Pik on Lantau Island. Of the six days i was there, we only got three days to explore them as monsoon season started on the fourth day... (no bothers cos we had the mad pleasure...

History (Part One)   The area where Brisbane is now located was originally discovered by European colonialists in 1799, when Matthew Flinders first explored Moreton Bay. He spent a total of fifteen days there before returning to Port Jackson. Before the area was seized, so to speak, a number...

The city of Manchester has an abundance of beautiful old culverts and sewers, usually I take photos of them but for a long time have wanted to do a video. The first underground tests were done on a DSLR in video mode, the results were grainy due to the high ISO needed and often full of mist...
