Sidedraft induction Drain, Manchester - April 2013

[Marsden1002]

Hello All

A year shy of it's 100th birthday, Side-draft is yet another culvert of the Gore Brook.Part concrete, but mostly brick it boasts quite a few nice little features along the way.

After deciding to either put our waders on outside someones house, or try to get them on while the local youth are around us, we made our entrance about 20 minutes after! The entrance was quite easy, upon exit the water had decided to enter mine and and a non members waders - Another Non member decided to take a swim with his camera about 15 minutes previous . . . . .

Some tilt - Some people hate, some people like - I like annoying the people who hate by using it

Another good way to kill an hour

Like that Mars and nothing wrong with a jaunty angle thrown in now and again as can work well.

My Camera went for a swim last week when it decided to come off the tripod(probably because I didnt snap all the way home like a mong)

Landed in two feet of water and was playing submarine.

Managed to snach it out sharpish,got the battery off and mem carp out

Then eight hours on the radiator wasnt holding out much hope,But was a lucky sod as works just fine and wont be doing that again in a hurry.

Cool share

My first 2 culverts I had no waders and was promised it was good in wellies. First one was just below my privates, second one just below my knees!! Not dropped the camera yet so I'm quite fortunate but I have missed a few culverts where I didn't get my camera out because of bad "floors"
