Amazing
Amazing is right, its the only drain of its type that I've explored. It is a bitch to walk through, being rock blasted the floor is uneven and slippery. It doesn't help the tunnel is a bat roost. Going there during the day means waking them up, which as you can imagine is er... interesting!
What I love about it is the fact youve got features from everywhere (by comparison). Maze like round brick, a huge vertical shaft of Cathedral proportions, Rock blasting that makes Fortress seem well...sandstonish hehehe
you get what I mean. this drain rocks my world! :)
There is a vertical shaft in here...? I haven't had my eyes open when I should it seems.
Indeed there is. Just not where this shot was taken ;)
Gawd damn. Time for some more looking around...
Well, having seen it now, the only reason I can think of for not noticing it earlier was that I must have been concentrating on the floor everytime I passed it =] Spent the rest of the trip out laughing at myself for being so oblivious to the feature.
Batcave is like that though, that's part of the allure... you've never noticed everything? Are there tons of tags in the RCP section?
Yeah, I love reading tags in the RCP for the history mostly, some unfortunate (in my opinion) graffiti on the smaller red brick further in. I'd like to know if the cursive inscriptions on the edge RCP segments is representative of the approximate date it was laid. It'd make sense. I don't think you ever notice everything in this drain... like the set of gold teeth we found on my last trip, obscure drain treasure if ever I saw it.
Did you get a photo of the cursive inscription? I've never noticed it. There is one in Toadie upstream from the grille on the LHS of the tunnel. Did you sport the gold fronts?
I'll have to ask the the camera slave if we got a shot of the cursive. It's dated 1970 and looks like it was carefully written into the concrete before it set, right on the ceiling edge of some of the concrete segments. None of us wanted to put the gold fronts in our mouth... they look kinda unhealthy.
