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

[stranton]

wasn't as filthy as the last waterway I had to walk along,
no cooking oils, detergents, but abit of diesel, sewerage as the sewer heads alongside
negotiating ankle breaking debris while
trudging through tons of knee high crap oh & a monsoon while in there.

Bradford beck (Macro), Bradford by stranton visited solo & with @ACID- REFLUX .

The Beck rises at Allerton,
heads east & curves north passing mainly through culverts
merging with the Aire at Shipley
length of about 9 miles.
The culverts start at Ingleby road & finish at Canal road,
with 9 along the way.

Did you take a gas analizer with you like Ojay and I did? The display showed PPM which was regard to air quality in Parts Per Million. It doesnt stand for Photos Per Mile.......
