Just upstream from Mistaken Identity lies this beauty. Waders are
a necessity as The Baptizer is a very deep section of drain.
|
|
The outlet from the drain. CSO outlet on the right. |
|
Yes, I know it's blurred, but it's just to give an idea of the scale. |
|
Sweet brick side tunnel, dunno where it goes. |
|
At the end of the very long section, an amazing three way split occurs. Strangely, all three tunnels dip down
and then back up again, a sort of inverted siphon, but with an air space??? |
|
Close up of the twin spraycreted section. |
|
The name for this drain comes from the fact that you'll probably get very wet trying to pass through this section!!
Stupidly I didn't get a decent picture of this. It is thigh deep and at the same time a back breaking stoop. |
|
The other side of The Baptizer, the triple split rejoins in a chamber with the most amazing stalactites
I've seen outside of a cave. |
|
Just in the darkness, the big culvert Moonwalker runs from
left to right. This drain is merely a storm overflow for it. |
