Hi Stuart
Try these steps Jon wrote in an earlier post
Good Luck
Chris
Register with photobucket.com
To upload an image click on MY ALBUM
Click on browse, along side the one of the upload boxes and find the image you wish to upload.
Click the big UPLOAD button and wait for it to do it's thing.
Your picture is now stored on Photobucket!
Next we need to get it from Photobucket to your post. So....
Below the upload box see your uploaded image album
Below each picture there is 4 boxes with code in them
The last one is IMG Code... this is the one we need to use on the forum
Click in the IMG Code and it will copy it (yellow box springs out saying copied)
If you paste this code into your post on our forum the picture will appear in your post in the position you post the code in your text.
You will find that the standard image size that photobucket produces is massive so:
before you copy the IMG Code click on edit above the image and then on resize image above the top left corner of your image. Select 480 x 640 and photobucket will resize the image. Then just copy the IMG Code and paste it into your post again!
See, I told you it was simple..... once you've done it, it's easy!

That is a toughie. Can we narrow it down?
I get the feeling it could be Lancashire/Yorkshire?

the first pics above the falls
and we all ran the falls but the camera wasnt working (honest)

Fantasy lines;
Middle fall - double boof left with left blade each time to give right hand boat angle on constricted exit.
Bottom fall - boof off flake (left blade again) then work back left to miss the tree.
Then your good, all the way to the tea shop! (probably go for fruit cake myself)

I think Richards description was just how I remember it, and the camera wasn't working properly after my test swim of the middle gorge.
Just caught the end of one run though.

or was it more like running away!!

I'd say Watendlath, then lodore falls...How did you find the first drop up by the farm, looks guarded by a rock and quite difficult.

The first falls by the farm would go in slightly lower water than we had. A narrow twisting drop into a sumped pot then a rocky drop. In the flows we had all the water spurted into a cliff so we portaged.
Long flat valley section leads to 3 short gorges through the woods to top of Lodore falls. The final gorge was followed by a nasty fall with a big haystack which we also portaged. Again this may go in slightly less water. Lodore Falls are long mean and complicated. A few falls at the top may go but then getting out would be very awkward. A small weir marks the last feasable egress. From the bottom of the falls there is only a hundred metres of easy water past the hotel to Derwent water.

Looking at that first photo I had no idea... and I was on the trip!
The later photo helped remind me though.
That last 5m drop is certainly runnable, but finding somewhere to put in for it would be tricky to say the least. The two-tier drop above that may get padded enough in high water (from a walk up there in low water it looks truly nasty and sumpy), but then everything would be so mentally fast there'd be no way I'd go anywhere near it!
