Academy Drain - Bradford - Jan 2011

I've attempted this place once before with Gambino, but had to leave as the air quality was poor! We only made it as far as the first chamber where we lit all these candles!!...

A return visit with myself, Clough, Fowle and Geovdub was on the cards, and I wasn't going to let this one get away again!


At the first junction you come to this off shoot

Which leads to this chamber...

The pipe on the right leads to yet another CSO chamber, and there is a tunnel behind me which drops down to about 4 foot, but carries on for quite some distance!

Going straight on at the candle lit junction leads you to this epic staircase

Perfect for epic people shots!!!

The staircase leads to this square tunnel

Which is another massive CSO chamber! I know Clough and Fowle spent quite some time shooting this chamber, so I look forward to seeing their pics!

Thanks for looking :thumb
