The River Westbourne - under London
< on 2/8/2007 4:37 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
Visited with Little Elvis, Paulo999 and Nurse Payne
Thanks to JD and Stoop for some pointers.

There are many things I have done in my life that I have thought after that I was stupid for doing. Thinking back I think I must be insane for doing what I did last night. Walking through the busy London streets in waders carrying rucksacks and generally looking dodgy we approuched our entry point. While being watched by a homeless guy on a bench we went through our saftey procedures to ensure our exit would be possible and safe. Then down we went.

The manhole closed on top of me as I was the last down and the echo was huge, just inside the entrance is a huge chamber with three tributaries leading into one. We gathered ourselves up and did a kit check. Then off we went.

We spent three hours down under london and only covered a small part of the huge system. However the Westbourne is feature full and facinating with the skill in the architecture making me stop and imagine the men building this beautiful hidden secret. Westbourne is a combined CSO which means that the sewer from London runs through it, this makes for some interesting smells and some interesting finds including: tampons, sanitary towels, condoms, etc...... even whole shits, I must admit at times in certain areas I did almost throw up and had to hold my breath at one point. The rats were plentiful with some even charging me as I blasted it with the search blaster. We have not finished exploring the Westbourne (no where near) we shall return and we shall document one of Londons lost treasures.

Here are some of my pictures from last night enjoy:

Badass! Beautiful pics of some beautiful drains. I am green with envy.

I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.
