Ladybower - Jan 2013

The wife wanted to watch a musical about miserable french lesbians so I decided to head out while it was on (I was out 2 1/2 hours and it was still on when I got back)

History

I rocked up under the cover of darkness and checked the water level, the reservoir is about 2 - 3 foot off the top of the spillway so I was good to go

To say it's pretty big is something of an under statement it's fooking massive but the XM-L 3800 shone like a beauty

On with the pics

Taken during the day

It's pretty cold out and a layer of ice covers the walls

The twin outfall at the end

can you walk down that hole?

 

[Paulpowers]

The top pic, it's about 100 foot drop

The outfall is only about 10 foot down

 

[Ninja Kitten]

so can you step down into it to the bottom?

 

[Paulpowers]

no it becomes a straight drop after the first few steps

 

[Ninja Kitten]

oh blimey! so you wouldnt want your dingy to fall down that! thanks for posting ..always wondered about that one

 

[Paulpowers]

The outfall is the best bet for access without giving anything massive away
