On a clear day like the day the photo was taken on this moor you can see beyond the curvature of the Earth and a keen eye will notice the largest of the Pyramids of Giza in the distance. The drainage channel runs on a slope with steel weirs placed along its length allowing the flow to drop to the valley of the North Calder in managed stages. The drain at this point was deeper than 4ft. - so it's a good jump to cross it.
