Optimus Prime - Re-visited

Re-visited by Ojay, Gone, Rookie & Urban Soldier.

I decided to go back and get some better photos as originally they weren't great due to the size of the place and that I had inadequate lighting for this beast (It's F*****G HOOJ!).....

Highlights and Lowlights of the Re-visit

- Rookie falling in at the Weir

- Me & Gone wadering further into the unknown (and sinking fast)

- Urban Soldiers tripod WIN

- Oh and the psycho rats 'running' at us downstream and some lovely spiders thrown in for Gone, hahaha, check yer rucksack dude, they often climb in and multiply.

(GOODTIMES)

Getting down the weir has had the fun taken out of it since I last visited, however did provide a few grins when Rookie slipped under..(SHIT).

The water levels were far lower this time round (thank fook) as it was the only thing putting me off a return visit, since nearly goind under once a twice last time around, much to the amusment of Stepping Lightly, although he also nearly got washed away once or twice haha.

It's once again amazing to see what goodies are buried deep below Manchester, especially the wooden cattle bridge which is a 'MUST SEE', as well as the original bridge near the outfall and the various lovely Victorian arches and brickwork on the way.

This once linked Long Millgate with Walkers Croft
