Chewed Up & Spat Out

The Meanwood Beck, aka 'Masticator' has been on my list forever, but somehow I've never got around to doing it, so when Matt suggested an evening stroll I couldn't say no. For me this was about the open sections just as much as the culverted sections. There's a certain industrial romanticism about an engineered waterway winding its way through an urban setting.The visit consisted of a speedy walk along the beck, roughly two miles to the outfall. Plenty of fun with smoke bombs, sparklers, rockets and Thermite, before a slightly more leisurely walk back along the beck to the cars. Due to my impatience, high ISO was the order of the day. I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked, so no doubt I'll be returning some day.
