Again visited with Gone and Appo.

I wasn't very keen on this drain as I am not the biggest fan of spiders as some people know! To my suprise there were pretty meaty ones by my standards on entry and a dead pigeon to go with it.

After stumbling on a nest of eggs on our way out of UMIST and through to Hulme Flume's Little Brother, we bottled it when what i can only presume to be a goose, started having a go at us from the water. After calling another over, we thought it was best to just bail further towards Hulme Flume's Little Brother for safety. Winner!









I had to sacrifice some of the quality when I set the ISO higher in order to produce visible shots, hence the blurriness of some areas.

Visited with Gone and Appo.

This was the first drain i was to visit since patching up my LIDL waders with a bike puncture repair kit. Through the fairly deep watered entry, the waders seemed to hold their own and I was surprised to find out, they did so throughout the whole night, awesome!

I very much enjoyed entry to this drain and how different it is to the others i have visited as there is a dry walkway alongside the stream. A wonky tripod didn't help with taking shots, so these are the best of the few I was able to take.









My new Fuji seemed to produce some nice quality shots of a drain i couldn't produce with my compact!!
