Megatron, Sheffield - The Return - October 2012
Visited with BAJ, ravenwing93, JasperB, *********** & Xan_Asmodi
It's a quiet Sunday morning in Sheffield. The sun is shining and the streets are empty. I'm lurking in a backstreet carpark looking very dodgy... I have unfinished business to attend to.
A few weeks ago, myself and four fellow 28'ers had our first taste of Megatron. Due to parking constraints and unfortunate timing, we had failed to reach the most impressive section. This time I was determined to make it all the way to the infamous 'parabolic arch' and of course the outfall.
A bit of history can be found in my previous report.
Having learned a couple of lessons last time, this time I was better prepared. New waders had been acquired and adequate parking time was paid for. Unfortunately this time LeedsExplorer & Fudge were unable to attend, however myself, BAJ and RW were graced by the presence of Miss JasperB, Mr *********** and finally by Mr Xan_Asmodi, who by some bizarre stroke of luck managed to find us despite having no specific meeting point. It was great to see *********** and the Stoke boys again, and it was a pleasure to meet both JB and Xan. Props to JB for getting here legs wet and commiserations to Xan for suffering lens damage
On with the photos...

Parabolic goodness
The outfall
It's always nice to finish something you've started. Megatron, consider yourself 'done'... However I'm sure I'll be seeing you again sometime
Ta very much
