[@trevordaniel61]

Always a pleasure Pat watching your video's , you boldly go up stream fearlessly as I sit drinking tea watching you , half expecting you to pop out of a waterfall on the Amazon .. Lol , your sort of video's should be shown in schools , along Fred Dibnah ..perhaps the young children will learn why infrastructure is so very important to our way of life , they should also learn about all of the other services underground , gas, electric , sewers , railways , etc etc , we are in need of engineers for the future , as nothing lasts forever . the most important thing the BBC don't get involved , simply because they would milk it dry , in my opinion .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks really appreciate your comments, this culvert had everything from cables, pipes old workings waterfalls and some deep pools and so many different types of construction through the last 150 years. Part 2 most of it is filmed so should be able to show you the rest of this culvert in a couple of weeks, thanks Pat

[@seansmith9129]

Patrick, you're as mad as a box of frogs, fair play to you! :-) Well done, and great surrealistic still photos too.

[@JasonJason210]

Glad you did this one. I've looked down from the steelworks into that many times. At one time they used to pipe live steam around the steelworks and it used to be belching out of that area where the ladder was. I can still remember the smell! I had no idea how big the tunnel was! Thanks Patrick.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes very extensive culvert, the area where the ladder is us massive inside. Never knew about the steam sounds interesting. Will be doing part 2 in couple of weeks as I have it already filmed, all the best Pat

[@Dave64track]

Fantastic video with some great still photography of places we would never see otherwise. These tunnels will still be around in many years to come the brickwork is amazing when you think how longs its been in these damp wet conditions. You can't say the same for modern construction methods. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next stay safe.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks David, still amazes me the detail that the light painted photos show up, to think the men who built the tunnels never really saw what they had built in the detail we can, all the best Pat

Excellent Video Patrick, some great footage there. I completely understand your reluctance to be escorted, it just cant be as thrilling as doing it either alone or with those on the surface being unaware of your spelunking adventures below. Thank you for taking us with you. Glad you got out safe and dry and not taken home in the back of jam sandwich. Cool. ATB ;)

[@deanbamford6031]

Great video Patrick. Always wounded what was under the steel works. Where you encountered the trains above, I walk over there from time to time and you can hear the river. From there it opens up near the store's area, then a tunnel then another open area where you took some photos on your last visit. Then another tunnel, then an open area with what looks like deep areas this runs past the west Bank area of the works that leads to the far security gate then the river runs behind the houses on Manchester Road to the dam. Sorry you got caught, bet that was fun for you. If you need any photos of any areas, let me know and I'll try to get some.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Dean yes sound the area I was under but could not risk walking through those open bits. Certainly made a exiting day, no point in running they new who I was and technically not done anything wrong, just my safety they were bothered about. Thanks for the local knowledge much appreciated thanks Pat

[@davidc4988]

Hi Pat, Another cracking video, well put together and the light painting was superb detail it shows was fantastic. Really appreciate your efforts to show us places you would never see, also encourages me to think out of the box and have a go at something different. I do hope the Steel works Staff and the Police were decent with you, showed some understanding and had some respect and hopefully some interest? Keep going Pat, looking forward to your next new project, anything planned, guess you may have a new fix on things given this one, not giving any clues until you have it all in the bag, if you know what l mean! All the best, Dave.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi David, always wanted to explore this one as I worked round the area and in the steel works as a electrical power engineer, glad I did it but won,t be going back. All being well I should be back up in the tree canopy on next couple of videos, all the best Pat

[@AbdulAbulbulAmir]

I love the clandestine stuff. I found myself in Macclesfield with a heavy rucksack. I plodded up the never ending road. Finally I came to the cut and walked along the tow path. The farmers must have spent a fortune on fencing. No way to kip in a field by the side of the cut. There were trees though and I got my hammock set up. I was surprised that people who were walking, running and riding bikes up and down the tow path, never looked my way. They weren't expecting to see anyone so they didn't. Even when dogs came to say hello, they never looked. You can hide anywhere.

[@MrPianoKnee]

Well done, Pat! I just watched it for the third time, this time on the 55" telly, which I also use as a monitor. Your light painting is extremely sharp. I had to pause and study them. Your sound quality is phenomenal on the floor speakers. You have outdone yourself on this production. Move over Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino. I would say that those six thumbs down came from the steel factory and the "Blue Meanies" for shouting in their basement. Actually, I get the impression that the factory acted fairly kindly in the end. If it turns out that they could give you access to something worthwhile it may be worth coming back to. You could consider it one more broadening of scope. Thank you so much for bringing this unique adventure to our living rooms. ~Peter Better Way Systems - Brazos Mr. Piano Knee (Mister PYanno ne)

Yes feeling OK and thanks for those comments thanks Pat

[@SonofChurchill]

Getting spotted adding even more excitement. Was probably down to Health n Safely. Good they didn't make you delete footage. Great work Pat 👍

[@daveangels]

i should think so, if Pat slipped they might have been liable, or their safety record would have suffered.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes certainly added some excitement, hopefully should be OK with vidio as it does show the culvert is properly maintained and nothing to cover up, thanks Pat

[@MrQuintonia]

What a shame you got caught Pat... That looked a very tricky one to navigate and when you put your walking stick into one pool to show how deep they are, blimey I thought... Keep it up and look forward to part 2, I'm sure it will make great viewing too... :) :) :)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks great comments and yes there were some deep pools down there, glad I had my walking pole with me, but I took my time and had no problems making my way up the culvert. Got everything sorted for part 2, out in a week, all the best Pat

[@davidtowey3423]

Thanks for that Patrick, as always looking forward to the next..Take care my friend...

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi David, glad you enjoyed the vidio, see you in part 2, thanks Pat

[@billy4072]

outstanding photos!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Billy

[@daveeboney7089]

that was an other amazing video Pat and thanks fore sharing the other side of getting caught, regardless of you getting caught i was gripped ever second of you journey and you video technique of walking towards and away from the camera really set your videos apart and it must take ages to film but its well worth it. It was very kind of the steel works to give you an escorted explore but i understand it would not be the same with health and safety guys on you case.....love all your videos pat and i look forward to where ever you explore next 👍👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Dave for those comments, did, nt expect to get caught so probably bit over confident and forgot the basics of staying out of sight, but all added to a existing explore, lots more on my list, all the best Pat

[@mrbrad479]

Great vid Pat, keep up the good work .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks and appreciate your comments, all the best Pat

[@Andy5486250]

Awesome explore that. looks brilliant fun. looking forward to part 2. Shame about the steel works not letting you through solo

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Andy yes amazing fun down there, part 2 is all filmed as much as I could, be out in a couple of weeks, thanks Pat

[@panderson088]

Nice to see this 2nd part! Unfortunate that you got caught, the worst i've ever got is some strange looks.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes just a slight problem, luckly most of my filming was already done, so just a telling off no problem, all the best Pat

The hooks on the walls would have been for power cables, same design as the air raid shelters / bunkers

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes I know they were for LV and 11kv came that supplied the steelworks, thanks Pat

[@bazw5929]

Pat u crack me up, no way did u get caught , clearly a rebel , u should deffo be on tele by far better than any of the crap on tv

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Baz, a reformed character for his vidio anyway, then its back to normal, thanks Pat
