The data is OS , but I better not say where from, apart from claiming "fair use".

It's certainly an interesting trip - I'm not sure how far I got, but at least up to Alexandra Parade I think. Some old maps show the stream plit in two, which matches what I found.

Hello Alan, those photo's are amazing. How did you get down there?

I know it's open there, so you just get your wellies on and swaggered right up thre tunnell? Fuckin hell, well done.

Best set of photographs I've seen in a long time. The Molly, fukkin' love it. It's got it all, it was always there.

Aye, it's accessable all the way up to Alexandra Parade (I think) and down to the High Court, though it gets a bit low where it goes under the underground rail line from Central. The Camlachie Burn joins it, and I followed the Camlachie until I got bored - about Bridgeton railway station I think.

You are a true explorer, sir.

Pee ess...Were there many rats & other beasties?

Did you have any other protective gear on aswell as the wellies? Breathin gear?

There were a few rats, but they're more scared of me than I am of them

I didn't have breathing gear, no...

Did it no fuckin stink?

No - it's not a sewer, unless there's a flood or something and the sewers overflow - it had clear water running through it.
