Been wanting to get this done for a time but its a fair trek from Sheffield but with the weather being so dry it would have been rude not to have got out and done something . Teaming up again with Nuboid we arrived early doors and parked up outside the Weavers arms and hoped over the wall at the side of the park and Burnley street .It was a bigger drop down here than we were hoping

last pic looking back , We climbed out here just below Morrisons there was another smaller culvert further on but we couldnt be bothered with it on the whole a good explore but its only short sections and i was left feeling as though we never got going properly but on the plus side the water was very clear ( loads of fish always a good sign ) and its blown the cobwebs of me and my torches and got me back underground after a long lay off ! cheers for viewing 👍
