Report - Bradford beck (Macro), Bradford, August 2016

[Ojay]

Gonna have to do this some day.

Yep, let's get summat sorted

 

[ACID- REFLUX]

Well that"s comprehensive Mate looks like @Ojay"s finally got some competition

I don"t have an issue with the high amount of pics you"ve posted, especially when compared to some of the that gets posted on the Forum But i do want to know how i don"t show up on your Bradford Beck pics when you"re on 70% of mine you "FUCKER"

Again well done on the mostly solo exploration of the system. Some people seem to need a whole posse before entering a drain (or anywhere else these days) then they all post up the same pics in the same week so at least we don"t have too suffer that and obviously the restrictions with your camera equipment will always limit the quality of the pics above but they"ve come out OK I"ve seen a lot worse

I like the final section the best for it"s structures (wherever 7 is ??)

I look forward to joining you in the future. Just not when there"s a sudden Flood warning while underground


Move !!!

@ACID- REFLUX thanks

thats the latter part towards Shipley, reminds me of a train tunnel
its a facinating network spoilt for choice.

 

[Ojay]

I'm not sure anyone could compete with 70+ pics of a mile stretch of beck

 

[TheVicar]

Good report mate, the more pics the merrier.
I really do like the Bradford Beck - I'll have to go back again one day and do the whole thing again as it was years ago and great fun. :

Given this is the most polluted beck in Britain, do you take dettol/wipes with you? I certainly hope so.

He does not need them as he"s immune too all water borne viruses/ sewage and indeed drowning .......so far

To be fair they have cleaned it up slightly since 1850 but not by much

 

[pastybarm]

No worries, lol, bit of a shocker there are so many illegally/improperly connected sewers and industrial pollution.

You can"t expect the lower levels of Bradford to be any cleaner than the upper levels i suppose! I always took it for granted before doing stuff like this that would not enter the Becks etc by design. how wrong i was

You ought to see all the illegally dumped Tyres under the Culvert off Thornton Rd, all neatly stacked up so they don"t get pushed out by the water...... like fly tipping them above ground in Bradford with everyone else isn"t acceptable now

 

[pastybarm]

duplicate...sorry

 

[pastybarm]

Yeah, as you say must be stuff flowing lower down, sewers not connected right, industrial sites dumping waste. Given UU have had to get their act together, can't see yorkshire water getting away with it.

 

[stranton]

@pastybarm whas your obsession with dirty waterways? ​

 

[pastybarm]

Lol, I dunno...probly goes back to the croal, seeing sewage flowing in from a manhole

 

[Ojay]

@pastybarm whas your obsession with dirty waterways? ​

Trolling ?
