After a little trip up the transporter t'other day thought I'd do the rest of it upstream which is called Monument
Again, I won't bore everyone with all the details, like transporter, its been done before on numerous occasions and there is nothing further to add in terms of it's history and features. just thought I'd put some pics up and keep the fire burning on 28. Good practice for my new Nikon too....which is still in 'auto' mode for now until I have mastered it's complexity.
The aim of this little mooch was to conquer that incoming stinking CSO just upstream of the Monument. I know a few have tried and given up a short way in.....me too, as you'll see further down the page !!!!!!
In 'ere
Tough going this....not only underfoot with all the bricks, rocks and debris but getting through the greenery is a job in itself
Next 2 pics is the nice little chambre under monument itself, nice old door at street level and the incoming brick lined sidewinder don't go anywhere. Its capped about 2 meteres in
Confluence of the Howley Brook coning in to join the party from the right I took a left here
And here it is .............
Dirty little _________ on the left is an old CSO which looks really inviting as it has its own steps to guide you in, but alas no red carpet ha ha. In fact it has a carpet of filth covering the whole floor that absolutely stinks. Also it looks like its gone septic in places and although the 4gas never even whinced t'was truly rancid. Guessing its not been used for a while now. Anyhow thought I'd spread the joy on 28 and transverse it's entirety for your perusal but it wasn't going to be. Don't mind admitting failure, I'm not proud, but this is undooable. I managed to get a good few meters in painfully shuffling along like a crab, got to a point where in the distance it did seem to open up to a larger brick lined pipe but knowing the few extra meters forward would add to my return shuffle....err time to GTFO
Even joked with my accomplice about building a motorised trolley to sit or lay on and coming back later !!!!!!!!!....like two hoverboards strapped to a bit of plywood....glorified camera crawler hahaha
If you got this far thanks for lookin
