River Limy Culvert, Rawtenstall, Lancashire - May 2009

[Chewy]

Had my eye on these for a while.

River Limy at Rawtenstall..
A smaller culvert, a small gap, then onto a bigger one .
Not very big , about 175Metres in Length with the smaller one around 20Metres.

The smaller one (red bricked ) has the old fire station above it, whereas the larger one (stone) has houses and roads above, then finally near the inlet.. a garage/Spar.

not much feature wise apart from a manhole cover, a pipe, a mongy nest with 3 eggs and a rotting chick, a small waterfall and the usual culvert arachnids.

Glad to finally get this done

Thanks Skin

think it was pigeon with the look of the feathers around the nest.
should've taken the big torch for this, although they didn't come out too bad.
found a good fishing float wrapped around a bit of branch, now in my tackle box

Nice one mate, looks interesting. Was the water flowing fast? Well done for going under there though

Thanks all

there's a few more similar in the area that i'm going to do soon

the water wasn't flowing that fast most of the way, it was at the little waterfall bit though...
(it was sweeping foot away before i got it on the deck properly).
6th pic up from the bottom went from around 12-18 inch, then the water was up to my backside

Good to get out and do something again, had a lot on recently (decorating.. boo)
