Sewer walk for charity
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fund-raisers are preparing for a four-mile charity trek along one of Europe's largest sewers. More than 120 volunteers will make the two-hour sponsored walk on Saturday through Wessex Water's newest and biggest foul-water sewer beneath Bristol, two days before the pounds 27m construction opens for business.
The walkers, who hope to raise at least pounds 50,000, will negotiate vertical ladders, sloping tunnels and weirs by torchlight. In one section they will be just under the M32, and at another 200 feet below the surface.
