Report - Shafted Culvert, Drain, Newburn/ Newcastle, April 2013+ June 2014

[Bunk3r]

Drains and culverts aren't really my thing, but the waterfall section made up for goan not performing another belly-flop.

I couldn't make as much use of Bunk3r's lighting as I'd of liked with a 35mm lens, but here's a few.

They came out nice, as always. In record time as well I am impressed.

Ever since seeing this in the news I wondered what the culvert looked like, now I know.

I am liking your second shot there goan, places like that were built for 10mm lenses.

Hello lads excellent job and i cant thank you enough for curing a child hood curiosity, i grew up in the area and always wondered what was inside the tunnel. Anychance you guys can remember how you entered the culvert post-collapse, was it from the under the road part oppisite KB cycles? If so how tight was it?

I do wonder, with security that active, what on earth they'd do were someone to buzz the site with a drone + GoPro set-up, being sure to get nice shots of all secca present. You'd have to limit the run to a couple of minutes, and you'd want at least one other video camera recording the events from other angles, as I suspect that a hi-vis re-run of a Keystone Kops comedy would ensue. Certainly that response would be "Oh look, someone's filming the site and breaking the cordon, panic stations, let's run round like idiots wondering what to do", and filming it would be entertaining if nothing else.
