Sheffield's Megatron Explore in a Dinghy

[@t1outabout275]

😲 unbelievable! I cannot believe you paddled up there in an aged dingy you had in your loft 😂 I lived in Sheffield for 10 years (studying & working) and I’d never seen photos never mind a video of that underground area. Fascinating, but there’s no way I’d go down there on my own 😂. All power to you, Pat. Stay out of bother ya mad man. 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

T 1 out & about Hi yes amazing place under the streets of Sheffield, glad we did ,not throw the dinghy out brought back into service after many years in the loft. Great explore, not sure where I will be going next, thanks for your comments and watching, Pat

[@agentbertram4769]

I used to do a spot of caving with my old chum 'Richard' back in the days when I was fit and able. Richard was one of the finest men to ever walk this earth and a keen caver for many years. I'm 61 now and physically buggered. We did a few places like this but we concentrated mainly on the Coniston Copper Mines. It was a wonderful subterranean world that I'm proud to have entered. I was always shit scared but my Beloved was not, and used to thrill at abseiling down mine shafts and prussicing back up again. Thanks for doing your wonderful videos Patrick. I am with you in spirit, but sadly not in person. Take care and enjoy the subterranean world.

Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to produce the video, Pat, really enjoyed it, especially the WWII input.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Glenn UK Hi Glenn yes it was so interesting did not mind putting time and effort in enjoyable in many ways and I learnt a lot. The WW2 bomb is all assumption but seems to fit the evidence I found, makes a interesting story as well, thanks for your comments and watching Pat

[@basedglennuk]

Does appear to be a German bomb, doesn't it? I for one would have felt pretty safe under there, during that air-raid; and how wrong I would have been! I really must make that visit to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, I've been promising myself; if only to see and hear the last Lanc in Britain!

Thank you, Pat, for taking us along with you into this spooky subterranean civic treasure.

Hi Harold, this was a scary one but had to do it. Water is not my favourite environment especially in a old holiday dingy but it was worth it floating under the streets of Sheffield, and the very strange looks I kept getting, all the best Pat

Brilliant! Of course. Have only just discovered this website a few days ago and can wait to watch them all. When you said "If I just tug on the anchor a bit I can move on a little" at the end of the weer I actually shouted "No" at the telly. fantastic photography. Loved the one that looked like an eye. Great stuff. Now, what shall I watch next..........

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and thanks for the comments, when I filmed this all I wanted to do was find out what was down at the far end, nobody seemed to know, it was a bit of a adventure but knew if anything went wrong could probably swim out the other end. When I look at it know it does scare me a bit, floating down an underground river in a holiday dinghy towards a 8 foot weir, scary, but it all worked out well and made a great vidio, all the best Pat

[@aquafinaspringwater9814]

It's so peaceful in the UK. No raccoons, bears, alligators, mountain lions, wolves, snakes or Stephen Paddock. USA.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Aquafina Spring Water Hi I ,am quite happy to have no lions and alligators I certainly would not be down there if we did, nice and peaceful down there like you say, all the best Pat

[@aquafinaspringwater9814]

Isle Wild Roamer It’s too cold: The average water temperatures in the UK are below the optimum for Crocodiles. Not low enough to kill them, but low enough to make them slow and docile. It gets cold in Florida too, and crocodiles get around this by going into a kind of hibernation mode where they breathe less, their hearts beat slower and they don’t move or eat much. They can survive the winter like this, but they would eventually die.

[@aquafinaspringwater9814]

Rhys Tomos Raccoons can survive in the UK. They are not dangerous, but are a pest for home owners and campers. Snakes, bears, wolves and panthers can survive there too.

[@LightWrathme]

We do have Adder's in the UK and I think that's about it. The Adder being the only snake in the UK to have poisonous venom.

Glad you enjoyed it, certainly a amazing place hidden under the streets of Sheffield, scares me a bit when I look at it now, thanks Pat

[@robinbidwell3706]

many thanks we enjoyed this immensly. Well done you for sharing this with us. Cheers Nell and Robin

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Nell and Robin, yes this was a bit of a adventure, it does sort of scares me a bit when I look at the video, but I had to see what was down there thanks for watching Pat

[@briandavis6984]

Another amazing video . Shear joy and excitement

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Excellent video on Megatron. I hope to visit this myself sometime next year. Thanks for the great vid!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Sub Exploration hi yes definitely worth a visit, waders a good torch and spare and you will have a great time, all the best Pat

[@SubExploration]

Thanks. Im guessing that the water gets far deeper during periods of heavy rain fall?

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi yes it does but with a bit of normal rain not too bad, the area that will be difficult is the open section, more views of this on my May Megatron video, can get quite deep there. Also near the first water falls there are some deep pools 3-4 foot deep, when I first went down I probed every footstep until familiar with route you will find yourself swapping lanes in the three parallel culverts for first section. Also take note of the saying " WHEN IT RAINS STAY OUT OF DRAINS" always worth considering. When it floods in storm conditions parts will be to the roof as bits of debris tree branches up there signify, Hope helpful and happy exploring Pat

[@SubExploration]

Excellent, thanks for the top advice. Thats a good idea to probe the floor. I shall take a long walking stick or some kind of pole to check for drops. Yes the last thing to want is roof high waters and logs to come crashing into you.

Hi Patrick I've discovered your channel as explain before while waiting for elective hip surgery and it's certainly given me food for thought and helping me set goals when I've had my op and I'm recovering (still waiting op date). I intend to get as fit as possible and push myself to do some wild camping and urban exploration. I'm hoping I will be able to do a bit and I thank you for the inspiration. I would never have known about the megatron and it makes me wonder what I could find in my local area of cheshire (audlem) , anyway many thanks for making such wonderful videos.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Mike, hope you get your op done soon, must be so restricted at moment, but a great time to plan for the future, hope all goes well, thanks Pat

Brother Mark Hi Mark it was just like being in a cathedral that massive brick arch, thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@Steve_Wardley_G6JEF]

Hi Patrick, a quick question. Where did this feature get it's name "Megatron" from ? That's more commonly known as a transformers character.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Steve know what you mean and not 100% sure Built 1870 s certainly not called Megatron, possibly when first modern day explores apart from authorities went down they called it Megatron and it stuck, it's certainly Mega if not only in size, thanks Pat
