Ladybower Plughole Full Flood Overflowing 2019
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2019
- Two months ago I filmed a full explore on Ladybower Plughole and Outlet. Its now in full flood and overflowing down the plughole.
The video will show the plughole in full flow and also the other end, the outlet with a torrent of water flowing out

Not only was the water flowing through plughole impressive, but also seeing the amount of effort you put in to creating your videos. Climbing down a hillside to place a camera, climbing back up so you can climb down on video, then climbing back up to get the camera. That repeated over and over and over again. All to create scenes that make for a very enjoyable viewing experience. Thank you for all your effort in making these videos.
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. 👍
Last saw this around 1976 when my Dad took us all to see it...I was terrified then and to be honest, it still send a shiver down my spine to watch it now but thank you for making it possible Pat. Great to see where it all comes out too.
Yes it is very intimidating, Pat
Thank you for making the effort to film this Pat, when you're clearly a bit under the weather.
Great video, much appreciated.
Haha!! Under the weather. And it's raining.
It's terrifying and irresistible!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Hope you feel better soon 🙏
Thanks Susan , quite scary but you,ve got to look at it, Pat
Terrrifying and irrrisistable? Watch this too:

I have seen the old village (1976, and before) also as this seen the plug hole 🕳 in full bore.
It’s magnificent and awesome to behold.
As always thanks for sharing Patrick 👍🏻
Hypnotic footage Patrick - great water engineers - thanks for sharing and making the effort through those tricky woods
Hey Barls couldn't have said it better myself. Fascinating to see the dry plug hole and outlet, and now thanks to you Patrick, we can see the reason for all this engineering and stonework that was necessary to keep the reservoir under some sort of control. Many thanks Patrick for all your hard work.
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
Cor blimey!!!!!!! ASMR to the *MAX* ... thrilling eh! Thanks for taking us there Pat. Very compelling and most impressive indeed.
Thanks yes had to film this, just pure power , amazing, thanks Pat
Absolutely mesmerising. There's something about all that water that just makes me stop and stare at it. Thanks so much Pat for all your videos; they are simply wonderful. Cheers!
thanks and really appreciate your comments, sort of draws you in, the power of water, thanks Pat
Amazing to consider that you walked up that outlet not too long ago. Another great video
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,
I absolutely loved the staged filming. Showing your progress down to the outlet. Very effective. Imaginative and fun. Great to watch. Thank you very much. 👍👌👏
Thanks David just a bit of drama I added, thanks Pat
That looks stunning Pat, great video thanks for sharing 😊👍
Blimey Pat, that was extraordinary. Another great one. Thanks.
Thanks Tony
Thanks for taking the time to go video the Ladybower Plughole. We did get a sense of the power of the water, even just watching it on our computers. Amazing!
:-D
Yes a bit scary at times all that power, thanks Pat
Great video :) I always have to go visit when it's in overflow, could watch all day, it's so mesmerising
Beautiful design of the nature and manmade working together.
The dry weather and spillover together really gives a remarkably relatable scale to the engineering.
Thank you!
Yes what a difference a couple of months make thanks Pat
Hope you feel better. We live near Niagara Falls, New York and am reminded of how noisesome water can be. The view from the embankment was spectacular! It was good to see the splitter working. Even though you weren't supposed to go there, I'm glad you were able to get the first explore. Thank you for sharing!
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
Brilliant as per! Modern day Fred Dibnah. Cheers Pat, get well soon.
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.
Hi pat only saw your video the other week about the overflow, but to see it in full flow is totally awesome and the noise of the water and also the power thanks for sharing this Pat .
Hi Martin yes the thundering power of that water, I can still hear it ! thank you Pat
A marvel of hydrology engineering and construction. Thank you for showing it in operation.
Glad you enjoyed it Pat
That is wonderfully terrible. Thank you for sharing, Pat.
My Brother said to me yesterday that Lady bower was overflowing so I said we can go for a run there tomorrow
But .. in the back my mind thought " I bet Pat revisits here again "
We don't have to go now because of this video but Im kind of scared now that I know you so well .
Thanks for the new video .
Regards .
Somebody mentioned it Saturday but I never thought it would fill up so soon, worth a visit, Pat
I was watching the weather on TV the other day and it said heavy rainfall up North and I instantly thought of your previous video and wondered if the overflow was in full flow, and now I see the video of the overflow in action.Thanks for part 2 Pat it's much appreciated and it's what makes RUclips great.Wonderful video Pat and a big like from me.
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
Thanks for letting us see this and after watching you explore the tunnel to the bottom of the plug hole. Amazing. Enough said
Thanks 🔥
Hi Kenneth, the power of water, very impressive sight, thanks Pat
Did anyone else while watching the vid picture someone on a canoe heading down that plug hole. Great vid Patrick.
There were people fishing from boats but they do keep clear of the two plugholes Pat
Wow, what a difference from you last plughole video. Amazing. Take care of your voice. Nothing a few pints will not cure.
Yes a few pints will work wonders, thanks Pat
After watching your videos we went to see this yesterday. It was in full flow. Thanks for introducing us to it. Enjoying your Videos.
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
Thanks Pat always enjoy when your here now I live in Cornwall don’t get over much. Thank you for sharing all best Gary
Thanks Gary, yes we have had a fair bit of rain, but forcast looks ok now, thanks Pat
Classic mate..that plug 'ole on that dead flat lake really reminded me of 2 dimensional representation of a black hole...effectively a gravity well..like your videos..keep it up
Hi Alex yes it has that look about it, thanks Pat
that ploog ole is the stuff that appears in my nightmares and dragg me in.!!!
Yeah . . maybe we should'v have watched this
What a difference 2 months makes. Thanks for showing us this great spectacle.
Yes quite unbelievable,I did,nt think we had had much rain !
Mesmerising and a bit scary, great video and get well quick Pat. Looking forward to seeing the canal film.
All that free powerful hydro energy going to waste! Fantastic video
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.
Thanks from USA, very interesting. Take care of yourself and be careful out there mate.
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
Hey Patrick, I have seen this video already 3 times and always enjoy it. Very adventurous... Thanks. Cheers, Petra
Glad to hear that!.... its certainly a intimadating place especially with the roar of the water, thanks Pat
Again thank you for your time and effort. Great vid.
So much more attractive and interesting than a modern spillway.
Yes beautifully constructed, thanks Pat
I thought that thing took two years to fill?!
Imagine surviving the drop and getting spat out that tunnel, only for one leg to go either side of that splitter. Ow.
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
Another great video, Patrick! Well done for seizing the moment!
Yes could,nt miss this, nice to hear from you Danielle
This was very cool ! I loved the first video you did on this, now seeing it flooded and flowing ...amazing !
Yes somebody mentioned it was overflowing, so had to rush out to film it, even though my voice was poor, all the best Pat
sore throat Patrick?! great vid! can't wait for the Canal video!
Yep hopefully better soon thanks Pat
Amazing to think the whole diameter of that plug hole is perfectly level, brilliant engineering!
Yes amazing, credit to the builders, thanks Pat
Thank you so much for this amazing footage! I discovered Ladybower Reservoir plugholes via a photo that popped up on Microsoft Screen Saver. I was so intrigued when I saw the photo I searched for more information and then discovered your video. This is incredible! Thanks again!
My pleasure, such a magnificent piece of construction, amazing place to look at and to hear the noise...... thanks Pat
I went to see the plughole 2 days after after seeing this video in March this year. Fortunately the over flow was still in full flood. It was a great sight to see - and the noise was fantastic. Yes it is rather terrifying. Thank you Pat for this and your other great videos, exelent as always.
Thanks Bob, I did not expect it to overflow to quick after being so low, luckly somebody mentioned it to me, lucky, thanks Pat
Dry or wet, this is scary stuff. Fascinating, human engineering.
Oh hell, after your exploration of the plug 'ole when it was empty, this is even more terrifying.
And exciting as well, thanks Pat
Another Cracking video. Thanks for showing us this beautiful sight.
Really looking forward to the canal videos. Cheers Pat.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them, see you on the canal, Pat
Great Video Patrick , awesome footage . Get well soon mate , Thank you for showing us this . I really enjoyed watching
Thanks Christian, enjoyed making it, thanks Pat
I've seen the plug hole over flowing just once many years ago, but not as fierce as that. I watched your other vid taken a months ago when it was empty, it shows how much rain we've had. Great vid fella as usual 👍👍👍👍
Yes I did not think it would fill up but, but hey it has, thanks Pat
Can someone make a giant plug for this ! Then let the lake fill up to the top of the wall ! Then we pull the plug out just so I can hear the worlds loudest bath emptying 😀
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!"
Great vid as ever Pat looking forward to the next chapter. Hope you are feeling better soon 👍😷
Thanks be ok soon, Pat
I hope your feeling better now pat, what a video...i look forward to your canal episodes soon, great job!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul, hoping to have first of my canal vidios out tomorrow, Sat, thanks Pat
All I could here and think of at the point you jump over the wall and after that was the soundtrack to Mission impossible 👍🏻
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.
For those of us unfamiliar with the setting, where does the water that is discharged from the outlet go? Does it lead to a nearby river? Thanks.
Yes.
Yes, it goes into the Derwent
Thanks Pat another top upload. Hope you feel better soon.
Should get my voice back soon thanks Pat
Truly amazing Patrick. I watched your video when you explored it in the drought. Thanks for sharing this.
Yes such a change !!
6:03 Checks both ways to look for anyone coming, then leaps safely over the wall. Only to then go back over the wall to retrieve camera, then repeat leap over wall once again. ;-)
Great video again Patrick. I thought you were a Shetland pony, but you're just a little hoarse. take care pal.
😂
Another great video and such power in the water. Thanks Pat, hope you are better soon.
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
Another stunning video hope you get well soon Pat
Crikey Patrick you sound like Theresa May did in the House of Commons a few days ago lol
Yeah bit bad but hopefully ok soon, thanks Pat
Wasn't long ago you were at the bottom of that Pat.
Truly awesome Pat, thanks for taking the time to film it, look forward to your canal film 👍
Thanks Mark, hopefully the canal will be more peaceful water, thanks Pat
Mesmerising, Pat. That was really impressive. Thanks.
Yes Malc very hypnotic, thanks Pat
It's Bob Fleming!
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
with your interests as they are, a drone might be a good purchase
Yes perhaps one day, Pat
Flaming Nora! The power and the force of that water! What a great video you have here, don't see these types of thing everyday, very special.
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
Thanks Pat. Stunning and exciting. And I appreciate the production work you put into the videos. Port works well when I've got a throat!
The Portsounds very interesting, vintage of course, thanks Pat
That is awesome...and dont understand why it is call a plug hole...and Im not saying anything about you or anyone that calls it that...I just dont get it...here in the USA...or Long Island New York...it is a drain hole...again Im not saying anything how or what you call it...very cool...thanks
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..
Great piece again pat I find all your reports fantastic
Thanks Andrew
My hats off to you Sir 😉
Thank you for the magnificent little adventure.
I love this kind of exploration plus you also give info on places and structures.
Be well and take care !
Thanks George, could,nt miss this when I heard it was overflowing, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 True. This video was a great addition to the one where you showed it dry and went in from the outflow. My kind of stuff :).
Take care Pat.
Really enjoy watching these videos Pat. Look forward to the canal series.
Thanks Daniel
After the other video I was hoping we’d get to see the plughole in action. Was not disappointed! Thanks again for your invariably beautiful footage and interesting information!
Thanks really appreciate your comments thanks Pat
It looks so beautiful! And really thankful for these videos! Really great input and so well shown!
Thanks Mukul, the noise and thunder of the water made it quite intimadating, thanks Pat
Great video Pat a little cloak and dagger down to the outlet made me smile thanks for sharing your experiences
Like a bit of the stealthy approach, thanks Pat
Love that rock carving. Thanks for the videos Patrick.
Yes seen a few of these dotted about in the Peak District thanks Pat
Thanks so, so much Pat....esp when you're not well. I look forward very much to your canal foray.
Thanks Ricky
Another superb video to add to your fantastic back catalogue of videos that I've been binge watching over the last few days. Great content , love your presenting style . Your still photos are just magical especially the light painting ones , a technique I'd never heard of. Keep up the great work , very interesting , informative and very enjoyable to watch.
James, such nice comments really appreciate them, all the best Pat
Amazing. First time seeing this since you uploaded the vid where it was empty and you walked through the outlet. Great upload. Thank you 🙂
Yes what a difference a couple of month makes, thanks Pat
Awesome sight. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Regards from Sunny ⛅ Skeggy
Nice to hear from Skeggy, all the best Pat
Breathtaking video.Thanks for making the effort and sharing with us.
Thank you Colin
Thanks for that PATRICK, the noise was deafening on my phone I can only imagine how loud it is in person. Always amazing to see the natural world and How powerful it is. Thanks again
Thanks yes it was deafening stood next to it, all added to the atmosphere, thanks Pat
Thank you for this video, all that water is mesmerising, plug'oles are such an unusual feature in a dam. The footage of the water flowing out at the bottom, hitting that cutwater and splitting half one side and half the other was fascinating!!!
Glad you enjoyed it......thanks Pat
Excellent video Pat! I am fascinated with this plughole. Thanks for getting out and making despite your not feeling great! Hope you voice gets better soon!
Such a amazing sight I can stare at it for ages, it tries to draw you in, thanks Pat
Great videos and thanks for going back
Wound not of missed it, thanks Pat
Wow! Thanks for the effort you have put in to producing this video. As you say the power of water is amazing.
Thanks David
Brilliant - Mesmerising. Thanks yet again.
Yes it sort of draws you in, thanks Pat
Great follow up video.That is superb! Cheers.
I loved the video and follow-up!
Part 3 request: Patrick puts LED rope lights under each step and films it at night with a fog machine in the hole.
Wow...just gorgeous and implacable.... This is how the eye of Sauron should have been depicted.
Brilliantly done....thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks Pat
Much appreciated Pat. I've been meaning to go and see this in action (after seeing your earlier video), as it's been raining heavily lately. Absolutely mesmerising!
Yes definitely worth a visit, may not be overflowing for too long, all the best Pat
The length by which you will go to give a tour is amazing. Please take care and feel better. Cheers from Edmonton Canada.
Lovely to hear from Canada, hopefully get my voice back in a few weeks thanks Pat
What an amazing structure. Thank you for showing it.
Thank you Penny
Wow!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to film this, especially what with you being a little under the weather!!!
I have never been so mesmerised, terrified and overwhelmed watching a RUclips video before!
Brilliant, keep up the good work !!!!!
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
Brilliant. After enjoying the film of the dry plug hole, this is awesome. What a sight and sound. Great film.
Yes the noise was deafening, but added to the atmosphere, thanks Pat
Thanks for showing! I've been wanting to see this ever since you showed us the insides of it.
Glad I filmed it overflowing, thanks Pat
Cheers Patrick for posting this video, you are correct, I've seen the Plughole overflowing a few times but never seen the outlet. Thanks
Yes I looked on RUclips and could not find anything on the outlet, so worth putting it on, thanks Pat
Just recently seen a picture of this for the first time and out of the blue your video pops up on RUclips. Fantastic work Pat. I'm looking forward to enjoying your previous videos and future ones to come. 🇮🇪
Thank you, Pat
Great video Patrick, as always.
Thanks Kelvin
Excellent reporting Pat. We enjoy your videos. Hello from Texas.
Hi Paul did,not realise you were all the way from Texas, the wonder of the internet. Amazing sight this, I,ve some of your Glory Holes in the US, amazing, all the best Pat
What a great video. This inspired me to go and visit a few weeks ago. I was not disappointed!
Glad you visited it Sarah, I,m sure you will of been impressed...... thanks Pat
