Arrow ARCHIVE: Moses Gate "The Footwash" Tunnel - December 08 - 23-12-2008, 14:11

Founded, Visited and Named By Sneak and Cooney.

This started out as a day just heading up into the bolton culverts, but with the weather not looking to clever, and hearing of high water levels, we decided to abandon it for another day..

We headed on down to an area i frequented in my young teen days, its like a small stream, that ran into a tunnel under the estate. I remember there being a grill to stop entrance, but its now removed? Anyway, we put on our wellies and headed in..

Wasnt much to see in here, it was our first unexplored tunnel so we were just buzzing in general. Not many features, it was probably about a few hundred meters long, with a small but very fast and heavy flow of water through the middle. I nearly got cleaned out by it a few times, even with the aid of a tree branch lol. It gace our wellies a nice wash, hence the shitty name...hahaha.

We also clocked light painting in this tunnel by accident, So we had some fun in here for a bit before we made our way out. Theres another one just up the stream, its got a big water flume in it, we didnt have time to visit, so were going to check it out some other time.

Anyway, all in all, a nice afternoon out down a wet tunnel full of spiders. What good use we put our free time to ay, hahaha, Big up!

Sneak borrowed Bensons wellies by the way, thats why there yellow, haha, ive got black ones meeee!

Anyways, PICS!
