Keep going and this place delivers like nothing else I have seen for a long while..


Some age old iron work on the next stoopy section




7ft Horshoe




Next up an age old sluice chamber, with a much larger wooden penstock ahead






Beyond here a sizeable Egg shaped brick pipe, teaming with thousands of fish




Once at the end Daylight ?




Looking back




"Any jungle in guy?"

"I got the Tarzan an Jane of jungle, jus swung in on the vine this mornin mate!"
WORD..


Paradise




This was by no means the end, beyond the 'Jungle' I could here the roar of more water


7ft Stone/Brick Arch




The source of all the noise was this rather awesome cascade

(Chamber of mixed construction)






After scrambling up some rather slippery stone work and another cascade we entered a small inspection chamber

Ahead of which was a fairly long section of concrete




More noise could be heard before we entered what looked to be like some kind of sump/syphon system

First up my mate to test the depth - He was wearing waders

A near fail later and I managed to salvage his camera just in time

Cue my goodself, I was already soaked so I decided to see if my underpants were any match for the neck deep water

Obviously not..

Some broken wellies & my underpants got me this far before the camera around my neck narrowly avoided a swim

(Here the external watercourse enters a deep shaft via twin RBPz)




Oh, and here is one of matey boy (NOTE HOW DRY HE LOOKS)




Finally we headed back, once out I emptied the remainder of the Worsley Brook out to the nearest Manhole





Once again Manchester delivers


....Take pictures and leave ONLY
