A revisit to the monster of Sussex. Colossus of the South, Brighton's biggest and certainly one of, if not the best system in the south of England.   .....
 
Finally some sewerfresh. I was beginning to think the Canadian people didn't need to poop. Oh well, onwards to the next steaming manhole.   .....
 
This was it, the time was finally upon us. Five years of waiting and finding funds to get to Canada had paid off. Lets begin shall we? Rankine.   .....
 
 

 

 

Moonwalker was very different to the drains so far. It was half concrete and half brick and very very tall. As we approached we could hear a rushing sound which got louder as we grew near. We eventually came to a massive slide leading down to the pipe of doom, the door above was huge and you knew it wasn't worth the risk going down the pipe just in case it closed behind you. We headed upstream and the debris that we saw was just crazy. Massive sections of walls the size of half a car and huge trees lay in our path. I couldn't imagine the force of the water that brought that down here and didn't want to!.

As we progressed further upstream through the deep water we came past a few side pipes and staircases, the most notable one led over to a small sewer chamber similar to the one at Eden. Eventually the water level receded which made things a lot worse the tunnel now became insanely slippery, both of us finding it hard to keep our balance. After a few minutes of featureless tunnel we came to a set of stairs which had makeshift concrete ramps built in place for a vehicle, not sure what vehicle though. We continued on for another 10 minutes before coming to the infall of Moonwalker consisting of two large slides coming from different pipes.
