Urban exploration #1 - The River Rea (Birmingham's hidden river)
In this video Ben and I take a break from nature and take to the ex industrial areas of central Birmingham, where a hidden river concourse that snakes it's way underneath and alongside all the old factories of Birmingham was too tempting a place to ignore, despite the unpleasantries. Our lovely urban adventure eventually brought us out into a secret smack head's lair, which we escaped, only to be invited over the other side of the canal for beers!
Next week we explore the old abandoned Typhoo tea factory in Digbeth.

Ace little vid. You emerged opposite Minerva Works, and I'm guessing you got a drink at Centrala, a brilliant little arts and music venue. I've played there many times, mainly with my band epic45. Loving dipping into all the exclusive stuff on here btw...
Yay, have been hoping for some UrbEx from you!
I love that sort of thing, did something similar here In my local city Roanoke, VA ages ago. However here the rivers are almsot entirely underground though the downtown portion of the city. Here's some really shit pics https://imgur.com/a/OrCiE
Wow mate you've got some balls to go down there.. See any rats?
Great editing on the "How did you get down there?!" girl hahah, "errr"
Haha Verity says cheers! although funnily enough that's where I pressed the off button. Should have kept it rolling. I told her that we climbed down but that she ought to be careful of the needles if she wanted to try it..
Hi Tom. Enjoyed a lot, interesting walk through the dark side of Birmingham.
Thanks Michal, I think so!
