Dsanktuary's Ghost, Brick Storm Drain, Kayak Entry

We went on an underground urban exploration adventure on kayaks, into the Dsanktuary's Ghost, storm drain. We entered via the tidal river outflow that completely floods to the the top of the pipe at high tide. This was a scarey reality for me and I did not want to drown & die in a storm drain! 

Darkday ensured me that she would lead us on a glorious underground adventure into the unknown. And then take me home for some fun. :) We went at low tide and had to paddle against the outgoing flow. We had to be strict with our exploring time, and not take to many photos, because the tide was coming in fast and the outflow tunnel would soon become flooded again and we would be trapped in the drain. 

We explored all the way to Dsanktuary Gate. We did a wool spin and took some pics and then we were almost running back to the kayaks as the tide had come in along way and we had stayed to long. 

I will always remember paddling out of that long outflow tunnel as the tide is coming in, and the water level is rising, and the ceiling in getting lower and lower. We were both scraping our heads on the ceiling towards the end, and my heart was racing. 

When I finally saw the light shinning in through the very low outflow I was so relieved I gave soft whoo hoo and followed Darkday out into the light. What an amazing underground urban exploration adventure :)
