Report - Hall of Giants, Oswaldtwistle - May 2014

This is a stunning culvert considering it just runs under a field

I had a look at the infall first but that was a complete no go so I walked down to the 12x18ft brick outfall.

Pretty much straight away the depth of the water fluctuates between a couple of inches and waist deep from one step to the next, combine that with how slippy all the rocks are and it's a recipe for disaster, quite a few times I thought I was going swimming but managed to stay upright.

On with the pics
