Transporter Drain - Dewsbury - Oct 2010

[MJS]

Having not been out myself in a while, Clough, Fowle and my good self decided to hit the underground!
(Unfortunately Gambino couldn't make it)

Just over a mile long slog (seemed much longer!) below the streets of Dewsbury.
What better way to spend a Friday night. After about 3 hours underground, we were yards from the outfall. It got deep. Quickly.......

..... Too quickly!

We had to turn round, nearly balls deep in water and trek back up the tunnel!!! :thumbd

Not seen many pics from this place before, so here you go!
Starting from the infall and moving downstream.
