Megatron Sheffield's Awesome Underground Explore 

Thanks for those comments, much appreciated Pat

Hi yes its quite unbelievable that this Victorian wonder is under the streets of Sheffield well worth a visit with waders and a good torch and spare, thanks for comments and watching Pat

Patrick Dickinson Good torch and *SPARE* ... wise words indeed ... Like everyone else, gobsmacked, never knew this was there, lived in Sheffield all my life (OK, that bit is not true, only 1978 - 84), cracking piece of video, top marks to a classical hand-tooled Yorkshire madman of the first water...

@@patrickdickinson6492 I thoroughly enjoyed this as the desert after my dinner and then just as the music started at the end , a storm was brewing here , becoming very dark with Thunder adding to the whole sense of drama after i had been thinking these tunnels really need to be in a movie , when i realized there had already been a movie with a tunnel system in it ... and a famous one at that : The Third Man with Orson Welles , Trevor Howard , and Joseph Cotten , under the city of Vienna . But Megatron is altogether something else ( ! ) overwhelming and really does deserve be in a movie .... a good one , like The Third Man . Thank you so much for this exploration ...i'm under the impression you were alone ... is this true ? Anything could have happened down there ; very brave you are and i just discovered your channel ; subbed now , of course .

Love your videos

Thanks certainly was a amazing place, going to be difficult to beat this one thanks Pat

Hi Chris, unbelievable what under the streets and when i spoke to friends etc nobody seemed to know megatron existed even though they had live in Sheffield all there lives, thanks for comments and watching Pat

Chris Thornley exactly but it's good though in case of a attack

its for the megaturds

Andrew Jenkinson Hi Andrew yes to think thistle awesome construction is under the city near Park Square roundabout and the old markets, amazing place it is, thanks Pat

Yes this is basically under Ponds Forge swimming baths and the old market, quite in believable what is hidden away, thanks, I wonder what else lies beneath our feet? Pat

As like alot of other people myself included all those years walking over there and not knowing it was there, thanks Pat

Hi Carl yes this gives a full picture of Megatron, I can spent hours down there filming and taking photos, all the best Pat

This was a amazing place, words cannot always describe it, all the best Pat

Yes amazing place, thanks Pat

Hi Donny, its amazing what is under your feet, lived here all my life and never knew it existed, thanks for comments Pat

Hi and thanks for kind comments, certainly was a awesome place under our Sheffield city streets, and to think it was over 150 years old, amazing. Hopefully have a few more wild camping videos on soon, all the best Pat

FUKIN SAD SAK!!

Hi Paul, awesome place this under the streets of Sheffield, and the remarkable thing is very few people know about it, all the best Pat

Thanks Dave, bit of wildcamping, underground explores and train travel hope you enjoy them, all the best Pat

Hi Graham, you like me was not aware that this existed, but once I got found out about it, I just had to visit it and find out why it was there, all the best Pat

Hi Paul, same as you I new nothing of this until discovered it on a site called '28 days later' a urban exploration site. Unbelievable that this is under the streets of Sheffield, thanks for watching and comments Pat

Thanks for that it is amazing what lies beneath our feet, hidden away from public view, thanks Pat

Hi Glen a lot of time went into getting the photos as you say but it was enjoyable and interesting trying different techniques, using light-painting, electronic flash and old fashion flash bulbs, that is part of the attraction. thanks for those comments all the best Pat

He's not putting his life on the line, it's basically just a walk. Good videos though.

simes303 I beg to disagree with that statement! One slip or misstep and he could break a leg or drown. He is far from help or any assistance down there and would be in dire straits for a time.

I've been down there four times. As I said, it's basically just a nice walk.

There’s a risk to anything we do every single day. Patrick is quite savvy with his own safety, I’m sure he assessed the risks. Even so, there’s still risks but isn’t it better to live on the edge?

Dan Mobbs Hi Dan and thanks, must admit it was a great explore and it's going to be difficult to find anything better , truly awesome, thanks Pat

Couldn't agree more!...such a awesome place......thanks Pat

Hi Chris and really nice to hear your comments, I live in Sheffield all my life and it's not untill I followed the Porter to the Station then onto Megatron that I found out about the wonders that lie under the streets of Sheffield, glad it's been of interest to you. All the best for 2019, thanks Pat

John Spence Hi John yes this explore is the best, never top this just amazing, all the best for 2018

Hi and thanks for watching, been on my list of " does " for a while, thanks Pat

Hi Nick, welcome to my channel, hope you like my other videos, quite a bit of variety you will find. Megatron is about the most amazing place you will ever visit, especially as it's under the streets of Sheffield, and it's been there for around 150 years, all the best Pat

Sheffield's the best , my family have lived here for last 200 plus years, why go anywhere else, thanks Pat

Hi Conner unbelievable what is under the streets of Sheffield, bit cautious at first but once you get to know the place great place to be, all the best Pat

Hi John I was very pleased with the photographs as it is pitch black down there, you can,t see a inch in front of you when you put the images up on the computer you think wow that looks great, thanks for comments all the best Pat

Yes it's unbelievable that this is under the streets of Sheffield, I have though of using a metal detector down there, who knows what I might find, thanks Pat

Hi to think there,s 150 years of water been passing through, could be all sorts there probably a lot of scrap and rubbish but who knows. Might have a go with my metal detector one day, thanks for comments Pat

Hi Geoff, really amazing place down there under the streets of Sheffield, you can spend hours down there taking different photographs. Hoping to have a follow up video soon venturing down into the Deep End, watch this space, Pat

Hi robert I enjoyed making this series of exploration videos, as in my local city and I did not realise that Megatron existed until started researching, really amazing place under the streets of Sheffield, thanks for comments Pat

Thanks Jess, must be one of the most amazing places I have explored, thanks Pat

Hi Simon yes I,be walked the full length of the Porter through all the culverts, I would not fancy wading through the deep part of Megatron when I went down in my dinghy it was 5 foot deep most of the way. At the bottom of the Weir there is a concrete shelf stuck out for 4 foot that's the shollow bit of water you mention after that it's 5 to 6 foot deep and when you cross the Don it gets to 8 foot in places. Still a great place to explore, all the best Pat

Hi Patrick. We had wetsuits and it was fine. Me and my friend Neill did the whole Megatron swim, down the weir and out and across the Don in February this year when there was snow on the ground. We've had many years of caving experience. We're very used to being cold and wet. Good videos, thank you. Simon.

@@sinad153 Hi Simon sound a amazing journey down, yes certainly would need a wet suit in Feb, thanks Pat

Thanks for subscribing and will hopefully keep you entertained with my adventures,certainly will be difficult to beat Megatron, but I,ll do my best,thanks Pat

Thanks Aidie I heard they were doing more visits now, certainly is a amazing place, all the best Pat

Your welcome Vincent

Your very welcome, certainly is a amazing place, thanks Pat

Thanks Julian, it's the light painting, the results are out of this world, thanks Pat

Hi Carlos yes a great adventure under the streets of my home town Sheffield, glad you enjoyed it thanks Pat

Hi from new Zealand, nice to hear fro you. Definitely built to last, and amazing construction. There is a 1940/50,s culverts made out of concrete in Sheffield that recently collapsed, I think this Megatron culvert will be here for many years yet. Thanks for watching Pat

Thanks Si, really nice of you to say....... thanks Pat 😊

Out of this world down there, it's like the journey to the centre of the world.... all the best Pat 😊

Thanks Simon, amazing what is under Sheffield's streets. My Dickinson side of the family were in Broadfield Park Road area in the 1870,s to 1930,s, on the banks of the Sheaf, all cutlers, so I do have historical connections with the river flowing through Megatron. They probably enjoyed a pint in the Broadfield and Crown pubs as well, as I do 100 years later, we have not moved far, thanks Pat

Hi Peter thanks the pictures with the light painting worked out better than I thought, great explore, all the best pat

Pat Gilchrist Hi Pat yes such a lot of history below our feet once you start searching, got a few more drains to explore next year and the some of Sheffield other rivers look interesting, as well as a few wild camps thrown in should be a interesting year, thanks for comments and watching , Pat

Hi Pat and thanks for that, you would not think this is under the streets of Sheffield, amazing, thanks Pat

Thanks for that, but got to agree, it is a amazing hidden price of Victorian Engineering....... thanks Pat

Hi Glenn, i ,am not a musical person so took a bit of advice from one of my sons, tis nice music though, all the best Pat

Well, considering the Human League herald from Sheffield, I think his advice was spot-on! OK, it wasn't them, but it was their genre of music, and it really suited the video 🎶

Thanks Jeff, out of this world is the only way to describe it, you could put a row of terrace houses down there, all hidden away under the streets of Sheffield........ thanks Pat

Paul Hickman Hi my exact words when I first went down, you got it in one, thanks Pat

He is! I only recently discovered Pat. Awesome adventures. And love his accent. His accent reminds me of a favorite character of mine on pbs LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE. The character is Campo. I love Pat now

Bella Plays456 Yes great place Sheffield, on and below the streets, all the best Pat

Wow, thank you!

Yes Martin the work of craftsmen, to build a structure like this by hand with no mechanical machinery, truely magnificent piece of Victoriaian Engineering, all the best Pat

Hi John thanks appreciate your comments Pat

Hi I have kayaked up the Don and into the Megatron outlet, the water inside Megatron is very shallow,you could kayak but would wreck the underneath with scratches and gouges. Thanks for watching, Pat

Thanks for the sub!.....as you maybe aware I,am having a break at the moment, hopefully my older video will keep you entertained, and I'll see you in December..... thanks Pat

Hi Mick and thanks for that really unbelievable place down there thanks again Pat

Hi Dave when I retired I picked up my old hobbies I had when younger, a kid and I,am having a great time, thanks for comments Pat

Hi Clive, this was on my list to do for a while but initially looked too awesome to explore but bit by bit managed to venture further each time. Quite happy with the whole system now feel quite at home down there. Thanks for comments and watching Pat

Patrick thanks for your reply but like a lot of people we been eagerly waiting for your latest underground exploration ' and we were not disappointed it was good real good ,

Hi nice to hear from you,if you are ever on platform 5 as you come down the steps to the right you will see a 8 foot square of wooden boards on the platform floor, under there is the river Sheaf on its way to Megatron, keep on driving those trains all the best Pat
