After a long absence due to a busted lower limb and that 'covid' thingy I've dug the wadorz out again
A traipse down Masticator Leeds was indeed on the cards...anybody from Leeds will recognise the ditty in the title
Won't bore you with the history as its all been reported before but thought I'd put the pics up for your entertainment and keep the fire burning on 28
First up and at our entry point is a lovely little flap under a bridge just out of the city center. A story in the news a few years ago claimed that a thief escaped from police by jumping into the culvert at this point and past the flap up this pipe !!! he was never found again and presumed dead after a search by a CS trained team who reported that the level of gas in there was harmful to life.
Some pics are deceiving but the reality is the flap is quite small and the hinged part at the bottom is tiny. Any normal sized bod would struggle to get in here, but .....the reward on offer is top shelf...some of the best brickwork I've ever seen lies beyond this flap...sadly didn't take a pic of the inside but they are pics online if you hunt them down....
Anyhow...some pics following the beck's journey to the river Aire
A relatively short mooch so we turned back and up to the flap and then headed north of the city
Found this little gem and went for a sniff but the mud here is more than ankle deep and the RBP is a real stoopathon
And then we stumbled on this !!!!!! Nearly blew my stack when I saw it ....very neat brickwork sadly only lasts a few meters and is bricked up a short way in
In and amongst the ancient brick and stonework lies a modern concrete labyrinth of RCP
And a lovely little CSO with a rather nice 'Turd Twirler'....must have been 'rag week' too, judging by its adornments ha ha
Thanks for lookin
