Got this done a while ago no doubt inspired by Tarkys brill report and stunning pics ( thats a hard act to follow ) i have been meaning to get back to try and get some better pics and a longer ladder to get up the waterfall but have never got round to it . Still plan on getting back but need the summer to get up that waterfall anyway this was our attempt at it , Arriving early doors on a saturday morning with shorts and trainers we slithered under the drain flap from the river Don to gain access

at the top of the concrete spillway we found a smaller diameter pipe but diddnt go up it

well after a quick nosy around and getting our bearings it was back down the ladder and began the long trek back to the outfall , A long one this drain but that final chamber with the waterfall made it all worthwhile cheers for viewing :thumb

Nice lots of designs in there. Those red bricks look like tiles. Good job. Your trolley does you well :thumb
