Posted by theradioguy Great writeup! Love all the details you included. I'm always surprised by the weird bugs I find in drains. Got a buddy who I dragged along with me on one explore. He has a bit of a fear of spiders and noped out of some subsequent explores because of it lol. |
Posted by Twystr Well, lookie there! You stumbled upon the Citadel drain. Some buds and I checked this place out in 2006/07. Amazing to see others explore it too. Check out that RCP branch. It goes to about Galley and Academy as at least a 5ft pipe. |
Posted by MakoSieverts Looks like I found a new spot to go to haha! I haven't been draining in a while but your great pictures made me rethink my recent stationary tendencies. Hopefully I'll be able to make it back with some great pictures of my own. If I don't make it back then it's probably because I took bad pictures and the UE gods saved this thread from seeing them. |

Posted by Thecurious This makes me jealous. I'm planning to fully explore my first drain this weekend, but I'm from a city of about 70,000 and I'm not sure how this will make the underground look, and I hope I find some of the things like what you found, instead of super long, tight backbreakers that hopefully get wider and more interesting under busy streets. I've located many drain entrances but never had proper time to go explore any of them, except a tiny bit of one in my neighboring city. |
Posted by Mossybread I've never heard of draining until now. What is the appeal? Some of the graffiti art looks insane, but I'd probably be concerned about smell... |

Posted by Aran Storm drains don't smell bad because storm drains and sewers are usually separate systems- |
