Ladybower Plughole Full Flood Overflowing 2019 

Rhankß Barks takesalor of effort to film on my own but Olive it it's a challenge and I like to do it all on my own thanks you for your comments Pat

well said barls, its not like pats with a BBC camera crew is it pal, i'd be knackered doin what he does

exactly well done

Exactly what I seen. Over and beyond, only for that extra touch. Great videos. You have a new sub. 👍

Yes it is very intimidating, Pat

Thanks Susan , quite scary but you,ve got to look at it, Pat

Terrrifying and irrrisistable? Watch this too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uNXh9gXDd2Y.html

Haha!! Under the weather. And it's raining.

You can see why this plughole and outlet are so big when you get all that water flowing through, quite scary when you hear the noise of the water pouring down, thanks Pat

When i was on holiday 20 years ago, there was a reservoir need to the camp site. I got the pleasure of watching it over flow, and went back 6 months later and the owners, had drained it right down, to the point you could walk on the bottom. I walked right down the bank, then on the platform that would be well under water, walked right up to the spillway structure, looked right up to the funnel part. I thought bloody hell this is one very high structure, must have been well over 100 feet tall! So Christ knows how deep the reservoir was when it was full. The mad thing was, even though it was fully empty, one corner still had water and you could not even see the bottom! It amazes me how deep the places really are,

thanks and really appreciate your comments, sort of draws you in, the power of water, thanks Pat

Thanks yes had to film this, just pure power , amazing, thanks Pat

Some massive power with all that water flowing down,mix that with the loud roar and it's quite intimadating, thanks Pat

Thanks David just a bit of drama I added, thanks Pat

Yes a bit scary at times all that power, thanks Pat

Glad you enjoyed it Pat

Thanks Tony

I would rather not if it's all the same thank you!

That would be a big owch lol.

I think by the time you hit the bottom of that shaft you wouldn't be knowing much about it.

@@MarkJT1000 Take a rubber dinghy you'll be fine, just hold on tight ;)

Does,ntbearthinking about, it's made of solid steel ! thank you Pat

Yes what a difference a couple of months make thanks Pat

That's great Judith, with all the rain we have had in November there must of been a lot of water pouring down the plughole, all the best Pat

Hi Valerie, I have visited Niagara with my wife, she has relative's in London, near Toronto, the noise from Niagara is like thunder ! Glad you enjoyed !t vidio, when I heard it was overflowing I had to go out and film it, thanks Pat

Hi Martin yes the thundering power of that water, I can still hear it ! thank you Pat

Hi Kenneth, the power of water, very impressive sight, thanks Pat

Yeah . . maybe we should'v have watched this

Yes a few pints will work wonders, thanks Pat

Thanks Rick, can be quite intimidating looking into this water, it also has a feeling that it wants to draw you in, all the best Pat

Yes quite unbelievable,I did,nt think we had had much rain !

Yes pity it can t be harnessed, thanks Pat

I was just about to make the same comment!! A huge water turbine could be installed in that system, it could be producing many megawatts of electricity. Maybe all reservoirs should have overflow turbine installations.

Somebody mentioned it Saturday but I never thought it would fill up so soon, worth a visit, Pat

My pleasure, such a magnificent piece of construction, amazing place to look at and to hear the noise...... thanks Pat

Thanks Harry yes we have had alot of rain but I did not think enough to fill the dams but I was proved wrong thanks Pat

There were people fishing from boats but they do keep clear of the two plugholes Pat

Far better than Dibnah. He hasn't started to believe his own publicity like Fred did, much to the detriment of his presentations. Keep it up Pat.

Thanks Gary, yes we have had a fair bit of rain, but forcast looks ok now, thanks Pat

Thanks Bob, I did not expect it to overflow to quick after being so low, luckly somebody mentioned it to me, lucky, thanks Pat

Yes beautifully constructed, thanks Pat

Hi Alex yes it has that look about it, thanks Pat

Yes Barbara, you feel it is trying to draw you in, thanks Pat

Glad to hear that!.... its certainly a intimadating place especially with the roar of the water, thanks Pat

Would be amazing, thanks Pat

Bet theyre not on a water meter!! No, seriously this is impressive and thanks for going to the trouble to film, but only today I heard on radio that Britain is at risk of running out of water in next 20 years, it's March 2019 now so if this dam is releasing this much water regularly then maybe we should save more!?😎

lol

@bullsballs thumbs up on your reply buddy! 👍👍 Very sensible and true answer. If we looked at restricting how many children we have etc, then our population would satisfactorily decrease over time but we live in a society that easily encourages people to have more than two children per couple thus increasing the population. Sad but true, but that begins yet another very diplomatic arguement. We could however, learn to do what other "rain deficient" water encapsulated countries do and purify sea water, but I personally see no need as we are one of the wettest countries around! It wasn't that long ago I remember being told the great floods we had a few years ago would be a regular occurrence?

Mitch Warren htuk . You wouldn't hear it, it would be overshouted by Lloyd's of London yelling: "Oh no you don't!"

Glad you enjoyed it......thanks Pat

Thanks Malcolm, it was so low in January I can,t believe how fast it filled up thanks Pat

Yes amazing, credit to the builders, thanks Pat

Nice to hear from USA, all the best Pat

Nice to hear from USA, all the best Pat

@@patrickdickinson6492 from the USA here too. This is the coolest thing. Thank you for your video.

@@MissRetroLove Always nice to hear from people so far away thanks Pat

Thanks for the kind words, looking into the wall of water is very hypnotic, as if it wants to draw you in, scary!! ... all the best Pat

Thanks David

And exciting as well, thanks Pat

Yep hopefully better soon thanks Pat

Thanks really appreciate your comments thanks Pat

Thanks Ricky

Yes I did not think it would fill up but, but hey it has, thanks Pat

That's just how I felt, like a bit of covert work, pity copyright won,t let me use music like that ! .... thanks Pat

Patrick Dickinson . So true about the @&™ thing. It is interesting how songs, movie and television themes we haven't heard for years come back to us so quickly.

James, such nice comments really appreciate them, all the best Pat

Thanks Paul, hoping to have first of my canal vidios out tomorrow, Sat, thanks Pat

😂

Thanks yes it was deafening stood next to it, all added to the atmosphere, thanks Pat

Lovely to hear from Canada, hopefully get my voice back in a few weeks thanks Pat

Yes.

Yes, it goes into the Derwent

Like a bit of the stealthy approach, thanks Pat

Thanks Mark, hopefully the canal will be more peaceful water, thanks Pat

Yeah bit bad but hopefully ok soon, thanks Pat

Yes perhaps one day, Pat

Yes I looked on RU-vid and could not find anything on the outlet, so worth putting it on, thanks Pat

Hi Bob, I take it it's Bob from Rising Sun days. I got your comment on last Plughole vid but for some unknown reason could not reply to you. I have subbed you so I don,t lose contact. I retired just after you about 7 years ago, Dave Bradley retired a few years ago then went back part time but has definitely finished now, we still go out for a drink every month or so, and still think we are in our 20' s Nice to talk and keep in touch, all the best Pat

Hi just a local name that sort of stuck, I know you call them glory holes in US, all different names, thanks Pat

Not sure if they're called something else in the US, but in baths and basins here in the UK, the hole out of which the water drains is called a plughole, so this example just looks like a monster version of that

@@chrisnewcastle61 that's it !

@@patrickdickinson6492 cheers, nice video, by the way!

@@chrisnewcastle61 In the us its called a 'drain' and to stop the water from going down the 'drain' we put a stopper in it..

The Portsounds very interesting, vintage of course, thanks Pat

Yes the noise was deafening, but added to the atmosphere, thanks Pat

Great info, love your work.

Heather power in that water, a bit terrifying when you think if you fell in it! But luckly no chance of that, pity they cannot harness all that wasted power, all the best Pat

Yes somebody mentioned it was overflowing, so had to rush out to film it, even though my voice was poor, all the best Pat

Glad you visited it Sarah, I,m sure you will of been impressed...... thanks Pat

Yes definitely worth a visit, may not be overflowing for too long, all the best Pat

Yes what a difference a couple of month makes, thanks Pat
