Went for a trip down Poachers today and as we approached the entrance we noticed a smell of oil in the woods.
Once inside it became obvious the smell was being carried out from within on the draft.
We were tempted to abort the trip, but decided to see what was happening in the streamway - assuming it was coming from there.
Before we got to the streamway as we crossed the rock bridge it became clear that it was coming up from the lower levels. Once past this the smell disappeared and the streamway was clean and smell free.
Presumably the smell is coming from the somewhere below - maybe the seal level tunnel?
Once on the surface we continued along to Hesp Alyn and did a short trip to the canal and back.
There were no smells at all in OHA, but on the walk back the stench from Poachers was really strong.
The question is therefore who has polluted a water course and where as it has a direct airborne link to Poachers, but apparently not to Hesp Alyn?
