Exploring "The Breech" Underground Culvert

[@MartinZero]

Absolutely brilliant Pat, I love this stuff. You do this stuff so well, the shots and photography 👌

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Martin, appreciate you comments, and enjoying your vidios, thanks Pat

[@tharkthax3960]

I love both your videos! Credit to you both!

[@kemmayr]

Can't help thinking of you having to go back and forth to get your video footage Patrick 📹📷

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes I do but it gets the footage I want, so worth it for the results, thanks Pat

[@underwaterdick]

@@patrickdickinson6492 it's well worth your effort as you take some great footage. Refreshing to see videos that are not full of shaky hand held footage or constant arms length selfie style sections. Keep up the great work.

[@shughy1]

Yes, walking twice the distance that we get to see

[@markstarmer3677]

Recently come across your channel, and got to say, I’m very impressed. A real treat to watch and learn about something so different and interesting. Credit to you for having the nerve to explore these culverts. Checking out all your vids now.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Welcome aboard Mark, had a couple of years exploring all Sheffields underground rivers and tunnel, amazing places hidden away, hope you enjoy all my content....thanks Pat

[@lindseykaine_walley9409]

Fantastic insight again, places we would never dream looking at. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next one. 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Lindsey, took a bit of finding this one, well hidden away, but again a nice explore, Pat

[@lindseykaine_walley9409]

Patrick Dickson, I live at Greystones, Sheffield. So these videos are a real eye-opener. Have you ever done any School talks about your adventures? I bet many Schools would love you to share them and to see your amazing photos!

[@jayellard489]

Father's day, means my TV ! Just watched this explore on the box with my young children, they loved it ! Going to show them some more of your vids now. Cheers Pat, keep up the good work.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Jay and glad you enjoyed the vidio, only a short one but such a lot to see, all the best Pat

[@patrickshaw7983]

Great video again Patrick. Fantastic camera work as usual. You came close to filling your boots in that breech. Not for the faint of heart!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes nearly, but managed to stay dry, amazing places under our feet, thanks Pat

[@kevinhoughton5904]

Fascinating glimpse into a world few of us get to see. Many thanks Pat. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

My pleasure Kevin, great to be able to bring these hidden places for people to view..... thanks Pat

[@ddthecm]

Hi Pat, the first section of culvert you explored, built in masonry, was to take the watercourse (Sough Dike) beneath the Sheffield to Manchester Railway and I suspect it would have been built around the late 1840's. The concrete extension to the culvert was presumably put in to take the water underneath the factory when it was built.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Dan sounds about right, steep railway embankment to climb down to the entrance, whether they spraycreated the stone in the middle or more modern build not sure, thanks Pat

[@susanm2117]

Hi Patrick. Everything about your videos is great: the locations, your delivery & filming style style, and the still photography - ohh the photos are fabulous! Thank you for taking your viewers to places most would never experience. Susan, Las Vegas, NV

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Susan, hope your weather in Las Vegas is better than ours, very damp and cloudy here. Thank you for your kind comments, glad you enjoy my videos, I certainly get a lot of pleasure out of filming and editing the videos, looking forward to 2020, thanks Pat

[@mikefisher9992]

The quality of the stonework looked absolutely superb, especially when you think it is all hidden from view. No quality spared when it was built. Thanks again for another interesting insight into our industrial past Pat.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Mike, built by craftsmen, when you think of the conditions the men must of worked under to build these amazing places, all the best Pat

[@blackydon]

WOW, What another amazing video Sir Pat. I know your a very brave man as I would not step foot in the culverts you do. These videos give your viewers a interesting journey which some would never do. I still await the Pat discovery show on the TV. Be careful out there and we all look forward to your next adventure.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks really appreciate your kind comments, this was a very colourful culvert, mainly orange though, been filming 36DD under the steelworks further up the valley at Stocksbridge, should be out in a couple of weeks, thanks Pat

[@chrismayhew3651]

Thanks for taking the time to make and share this explore. The camera work starting around 5:25 was very effective! I think it would be fair to say that all your videos are like a personal journey that we have been invited along on. I think it's your personal touch that sets your channel apart from the masses. Such a fantastic channel!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Wow that's great, really appreciate your comments, I sort of base my vidios on a journey and it's great to have you along, all the best Pat

[@gpk7683]

Your video, editing and commentary skills are excellent Pat. I hope you enjoyed making this film as much as I did watching it

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes love making these videos, keeps me busy throwing up different challenges all the time, part of the fun, all the best Pat

[@bushcraftandastronomer.3775]

Hi Patrick. Very interesting video and a bit of history too. Your explore videos are great and shows how much fun you can have exploring. I bet you can get great shots there of light painting in parts like the water and orange mud. Great video again from you Patrick!!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks for kind words yes light painting really shows up the detail of these underground places, and like you say, so much fun, thanks Pat

[@RichDavey]

Fantastic as ever Pat. Stunning photography. Certainly some man hours gone into the construction of the culvert. Well done 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

The brickwork was amazing and really showed up on the still photos, very old but still in good condition, a tribute to the men that built it, all the best Pat

[@survivaluk6564]

Well once again you furnished us all, with another great vlog. Full of interesting facts on history as well as a look into these secretive underground culverts. Its always a pleasure to watch your vlogs pat, you go where most people dare not go, you should write a book . You do it so we don't have to. Your a great man all the best to you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thank you for those very kind comments, must admit I love these explores, quite challenging to film, and certainly gets a bit of adrenaline flowing when trying to get in undetected thank you again, all the best Pat

[@Hairnicks]

Such impressive filming and production. This is real quality and good enough for TV. Superb that you do this on your own.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks and really appreciate those kind comments, part 2 should be out couple of days on Sun, had to complete this one, all the best Pat

[@mcoppock214]

Once again a fantastic production. Your photography in low light, to me outstanding. Well done.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Love that side of photography, most of these places have been in the dark, since they were built, all the best Pat

[@Forest_Ry]

Morning Patrick. Love to see quality workmanship, the stonework is unbelievable as being a bricklayer/stone mason I appreciate it all. It perhaps lost a few life's during it's construction. Nice video and history/heritage. Take care my friend 👍🇬🇧⚒

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks the brickwork in these victorian culverts are amazing, more like art work, all the best Pat

[@Forest_Ry]

@@patrickdickinson6492thanks for then reply. I can imagine Patrick. I have a love for old brickwork. Where I am from there is a viaduct and was blown away when I finally went to go see it. We cannot let these old structures crumble. Brick engineering 👌 the craftsmanship/pride of the old school bricklayer/stonemason was on another level. Like you said more like art work. 100 % correct sir. Look forward to the next one take care 👍🇬🇧⚒

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

That stonework and culvert is awesome and a tribute to the craftsmanship used to construct it. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Michael, yes it amazes me how well built these places are, and how they have lasted for 150 or so years, all the best Pat

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Good to hear you back to normal too. 👍🏻

[@malcolmcog]

That was yet another enjoyable explore, and to know that we still make things in Britain is brilliant !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes still producing and great day out, thanks Pat

[@davidberlanny3308]

..... I saw that you were stood like a greyhound in the slips, straining upon the start. The game was afoot and you followed your spirit, and charged up that culvert, and we cried 'God for Harry, England, and Saint Patrick" Great video as always, thank you!!. Good luck from Spain!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks David, yes was all ready for this one, sometimes you've just got to go for it, thanks Pat

[@jcc4tube]

Thanks for taking us on another explore. I love the light painting and your unpretentious presentation style.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks appreciate that, Pat

[@MrPianoKnee]

This has some great colour in the video and photos. The cinematography and production design get an A+. In some respects, I think you have created a new art form. You incorporate many aspects, such as history, exploration, risk taking, travel, caving, engineering, art, communication and performance skills. On top of this you give yourself, purely honest and unique, as well as very kind and generous. At considerable time and expense, You have provided not just a rarely found lesson in all of the subjects I just mentioned, above, but a damned good example of how to be an above average and substantially decent human being. Also commendable is your initiative and willingness to do the hard work required, to turn a great idea into something real. Awesome, Pat. Truly awesome. Rather than saying that I can hardly wait until your next production, I will admit that I am looking forward to viewing "The Breech" a few more times because I always find more, by giving your videos a few more looks.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

That is so kind of you to leave such nice comments. I do have a lot of interests and these explores certainly involve a lot of them. I know I only put a vidio on every month or so, but I prefer to spend alot of time producing the best quality vidio I can, thank you again, Pat

Fantastic well done Patrick . I was up in Stocksbridge yesterday found some old mines very close at the end of 36DD . Cant wait for the conclusion of that one . The paper mill now in Oughtibridge has gone now flattened to the ground 😢 and lost forever. Got my first ever job there . Keep well mate all the best .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Ian, yes the whe area round there seems to be of mined at sometime, been past old British Tissues site each time I visit Stockbridge, like you say flatened. 36dd going well but hit big problems when filming part 2, all will be revealed in couple of weeks, thanks Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes certainly built to last, you wound,nt think it was built nearly 150 years ago, thanks Pat

[@ginetteneale5101]

Dear Pat I do hope you’re keeping well. Just catching up with more of your videos. Loved this one! My family live a short 5 min drive from this location and I never knew that culvert existed. How interesting! Only a month after you filmed this, I was over visiting and we spent a morning walking in the woods just above there. We dropped down and had a breather on that very same bench before tackling the steep lane back up the hill. If only we’d been a little earlier we may have bumped into you! Thank you, as always for your amazing videos Pat. Simply marvellous! Much love. Ginette xXx

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Ginette, and nice to hear from you, a small world that your family lived so near, I know the area well as I spent 40 years working for YEB and built alot of the power lines in the area. Took a bit of finding this culvert, but an interest one, even though I nearly breeched my waders...... thanks Pat

[@shaunanthony7950]

As always a joy to see your videos, inspires me to do more outdoors. Thank you bud and keep on treking :)

[@ainsgb]

@@patrickdickinson6492 very nice light and it does seem suited to your needs. Long run times in particular. If you have time check out the Emisar/Noctigon range of lights (I'm not an affiliate, just a fan). You can get them with 4000k high colour rendering LEDs (SST20 4000k 95cri). Beautiful warm tint and very easy on the eyes. Not sure how it would affect your photography. But for your own use during explorations or out camping I think you would appreciate the difference.

Well done a lot of camera setup by the looks of it, I used to go to the paper mill there in the wagon a few years ago, Places like that and Sheffield started my interest in past industry and the quality that the old guys built the place...

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi that would be British Tissues, further up the valley, they knocked it down last year and believe they are probably building on it now, how times change, all the best Pat

[@redsteadyon]

Wow knocked it down , I'd drop there then drive down Outibridge into Sheffield, And get something to eat in Sheffield cos there was loads of cafes up side steets where you could get a proper cooked meal for hardly anything, Ace Thanks Patrick. @@patrickdickinson6492

Although I liked the whole video, there are 2 things I really liked. The first was at the 10:15 to the 10:42 minute mark. The intensity of the light made it look like a ring of fire surrounding you and moving with you while walking. Just a great visual. The second part I like was at the end of the culvert (17 minute mark). We can see the light at the end, but when you walk into the picture, the end of the tunnel looked a lot smaller. I thought, “Is he going to get on his hands and knees to get out?” But, nope, you walk right out! Sort of like an Alice in Wonderland or Charlie and the Chocolate and the Factory. Wonderful optical illusion. Great video Patrick!

Thanks Jeff very kind comments, with the tunnel being quite short and easy access it gave me time to experiment with different camera techniques, using different lighting and camera settings, sometimes they work out sometimes they don,t, all part of the fun, all the best Pat
