chemical valley culvert, bolton, 12/08

[bungle666]

a thouroughly enjoyable jam rag infested stinky hole of slippy slidey shit encrusted doom!!

we came we saw we left, what more can be said!! (except for the fact i have NEVER seen so many jam rags in 1 culvert!!)

anyhow, a real mixed bag this one, that for the most part dates back to the 1800s its just a shame we couldnt (or wouldnt ) get any further!!

OH and did i mention the jam rags??!!

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!

mendo at the limit


well this is it folks, as far as we go..


ANOTHER shape change.....


lazy hazy culvert.....


flash-tastic!! this thing looked like an airshaft, it even had a braket for a ladder near the top of the bend.


mendo in action


smaller stone section


round stone section


mendo passing the ladder that had broken out of one of the shafts!!


trails...


the longest continual section with an UNBELEIVABLE fall on it....


your truly, surveying the scene


good stuff this, i hope this is just a taster of what bolton has to offer!!

Some cracking pictures make a jam rag hell seem so inviting (in an exploring way, not as a holiday location) They really give the untrained viewer an idea of the horrors that people go to to get interesting pictures. Top marks mate.
