Another one on my to do list ticked off first came across this while out walking the dog around shirebrook woods last year , thought id found something new at first but its been covered before brilliantly by tarky and his report made me aware of the last old section outfalling in to the river rother . Returning again this year it was obvious id have to get this done before rain stopped play as they say in cricket with time running out and a few spare holiday days i decided to tackle it before the bad weather arrived this weekend
875797

the start of the lower section , nice stone pipe
875800

not visable on the photo but you could see from one end to the other just !
875801

shuttered concrete section nearly at the outfall
875802

looking up concrete manhole
875803


875804

the outfall in to the river rother , quite picturesque lol
875805

walking back upstream this was the start of the main explore, Was under no illusions what hard work lay ahead but if my home work was correct this should lead up to the ochre stained manhole chamber ( the bum hole ) squeezing under the metal grill i got inside
875806

view down stream
875807

got kitted up once id got past the grill , needless now to say but id come along with the trolley cart as its only about 1200mm diameter pipe
875808

and of we go
875809

slight reduction in pipe diameter here
875810

moving on upstream looks like someone has lost a spade ! the rcp pipe stopped here and was replaced with spraycreted concrete over corrugated metal pipe
875811

this next section looked like the roof had been painted with black paint ! did make it feel more sinister lol
875812
obligatory 28 pic lol was only another 28 meters to the chamber then ?
875813


arriving in the chamber it was evident it had changed since tarkys report someone had been down and removed the build up of ochre residue which had encompassed the handrail they had also blasted it everywhere so the section 1 or 2 or 3 had all but been lost turning left here rather than following the main flow i started exploring section 2
875814

the start of section 2 ,corrugated metal pipe with a concrete floor
875815

moving on past a couple of manholes there was light at the end of the tunnel
875816

the drains cart at the end , no way out here although did have a rest here and soak up the fresh air
875817

no rest for the wicked lol back to business going back to the chamber
875818

on the way back to the main chamber looking up at one of the manholes i went past gives an idea how far underground i was
875819
next manhole on same script
875820


arriving back to the main chamber this was the start of section 3 ( the main flow )
875822

a speck of light in the distance was the infall
875823

half way down a few stallagtites was told at school these take thousands of years to form yeah right lol
875850

end grill absolutely choked no way out here ! about turn
875851

walking back to the main chamber the start of section 1 in view was nice to be able to walk about in this section and give my back a rest going back out the way i entered
875875

nearly out coming back was easier as your going downhill but still a time the 750 is the distance in meters to the chamber ! another tuff one thanks for watching :thumb

Aw maaaaan, no way, they cleaned the bumhole! I mean, @tallginge had a good go himself when we were there, but they've done a proper job on this. Not the first time they've gone and cleaned something up after it's been posted on here either - just providing a service ;-)

Anyway, good to see an update on these, nice one as always! :cool:

Sheffield seems to have quite a few drains dotted around, I must go up some time and take a look

You mean it was more rancid?
