Dont know pretty much anything about this or if its even really a drain could be a culvert who knows! Tried to get some history on it but the task was impossible. Not to sure if anyone has done it before I believe they havent cos if flipping boring! You have to walk down constant box section for about an hour! This bit is the only interesting section, it joins what looks like the Holbeck Culvert thing near the BOC Gases and the Porsche Garage in Leeds and goes under the motorway then under B and Q and carries on going until it comes out next to the Whiterose Shopping centre.

Did this when we were trying to do the Duplo Drain but water levels were waist high so we turned round went up a other section, took us ages but we kept going into the unknown.....

Anyways heres the pictures....

This place is a turd

After about an hours of trunging you get to the only brick section

But Fowleandclough got out his Patented "Turd polishing Lighting Cloth" from JMA and we tried to spice it up a bit....

Looks okay now!

Futher on and there is more box section leading to a split in direction, the left goes upto the infall and the right gets smaller and smaller so we didnt go up as we didnt fancy crawling up there and dieing of poo gas just for more box section so we went left.

After all that you get to the infall and have to walk all the way back cos its got a fence over it, bastards....
