The River Westbourne and The Egg

Parking up outside a rather posh hotel, complete with doormen, men in suits talking into earpieces and Mercedes doing 3-point turns in the narrow road, The Winch and I kitted up and walked off into the darkness.  A few minutes later, and after some brief confusion, we entered the flow of the River Westbourne.

Initially, we headed North on the Ranelagh Sewer, following its meagre flow through to the point where it meets what is officially known as "Middle Level Sewer No. 1"  Glamorous!  The flow was a bit fast and deep here (like, thigh high) and the tunnel seemingly only around 5'6" so we turned around, and walked back the way we came.
