Explored with a Non-Member
I dont know how Im only just getting a report of this place to be honest, This was my first drain explore ever and I was solo (I was only 14 aswell :confused )
I had been to take photos, but never got to the end due to something happening (like bumping into the tours)
This report compiles of 2 seperate explores of the place, you will notice when the colour and lens changes
Now, 2 years later, I finally decide to get up off my arse and get some photos in here...

Getting to the drop-in point for about 12:30, we kitted up and headed into the culvert

The water level was relatively low, making things super easy
Into our first little culvert, I believe this is a very old bridge connected to a more recent brick culvert? Never seen infrastructure like it!

We come out next to the Radio Sheffield car park, and under a low section of culvert that goes under Sheffield Archives!

From here its back breaking all the way until we get to the outfall... oh well, on we go!

Upon shining a torch in, we found this

Anyone have any idea WTF this is? Its very old, and there are ladders going down to it, however I suspect the manhole is in the road where the Pick-up and Drop-Off point is, so if anyone has any idea let me know via PM or comment!

We then meet up with the river sheaf (Looking back towards the porter)

Hello Sheafy

_DSC0114.JPG


Concrete spraycrete mixed with weird concrete arched slabs, interesting

3 concrete arches join to 2 arches
Looking back then up one of the 2 brick tunnels

Off we go towards the Sheaf infall
And yes we gave the penstock a tug :D too heavy need more people
_DSC0108.JPG


Two culverts join to make one

_DSC0106.JPG


The brick infront indicates where the Main Road is.
The further you go forward the deeper it got, so we turned back
_DSC0105.JPG


Back down we go where the sheaf meets porter

Down the left side we go!

Apologies for the pic heavy report so far, but fuck it, this place is great :rofl

Anyone planning to go, please be weary of the random drop off points on both the middle and right tunnel, they almost caught me by surprise

Adding strength to the culvert

Not for long
Anyone been in that side pipe?
_DSC0138.JPG


Same idea as last except a few twists and turns
_DSC0132.JPG


Nice little weir
_DSC0128.JPG


3 stone/brick culverts join to make...
_DSC0123.JPG



1 goliath of a culvert!!!
_DSC0121.JPG


Non-Member was gobsmacked, and so was I even though its my 5th time being in this chamber :rofl
Lets take a look up that side pipe to the left
We got to a penstock which was bricked off, but you could still hear the sewer "water" rush behind it
Climbing up the manhole chamber there was a hole in the wall and 2 pipes joining to make 1 which much overflow into the chamber and out into the Megatron chamber, smelly :turd

You just gotta do it
_DSC0120.JPG


Looking back
_DSC0118.JPG


The size of it will always shock me :)
_DSC0115.JPG



After hours of exploring, we turned back, and I went home for a well deserved cuppa:D
Apologies for the pick heavy report...
Cheers for reading!:thumb
