Had planned to crack the motherloader but as we made our plans the heavens opened. Rain, No Drains. However plan b was to go back to dreadnaught, a big bastard of a storm drain. Must be 2+ miles long.

Built in 1974 the ‘dreadnaught’ storm drain runs from Bishopsworth through to an outfall on the diverted stream of the river Avon in Bedminster. The drain runs almost parallel with the Souther foul water interceptor.
