Rainby Force, Swale again.
Stu
Definately.
yep its the swale - rainby force. The double bluff of two swale pics in one thread failed. I should have cropped the image more!
Who's next?

It's nice and easy!!
That looks to me like the Greta... went in that hole last time I ran it and got a spanking! :D
Captain Scum told me it was friendly! Helps you to tell who your mates are when that happens... LOL

Is it the clough
Awww... well done Captain!
Bet you can't get this one:
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w308/jonsgr8/PICT0016.jpg
I think that is a safe bet!
the rock looks strangely 'amblesidey'?
Captain Scum
16-10-2007, 10:24 PM
How about Scandale Beck
Captain you are indeed incorrect!;)
Captain Scum
16-10-2007, 10:31 PM
In that case - Stock Ghyll
Well done Captain that's spot on. Stockghyll Beck.
The picture is from when I worked for a structural engineer and we had to drop the 7m tall retaining wall and rebuild without loosing any of the houses into the water.
Apologies to any paddlers who wanted to paddle the beck during those 2 years that I was blocking it. It's all back now, complete with the archway that spans the gap in the bedrock. I did here at some local kids used the pipes as water slides although I guess the landing / exit would have been quite painful.
Have you got a picture for us Captain?

I'll disqualify myself from the latest picture (as i was on the trip), but going back to Stock ghyll, your efforts in blocking the beck werent entirely succesful, It had several runs while the scaffolding tunnel was up, although that first move was fully scary - I wonder what would happen if they started using fixed scaffolding poles sticking in the water in Slalom comps?!
Makes it seem tame now its all come down now!

I think im being a bit slow here
Im fairly sure its me in the pic but cant remember what boat im in or what drop it is:confused:
callwild
17-10-2007, 04:55 PM
Sorry Steve its not you that why you don't recognise the boat.
Cant remember if Richard was there or not.
Not the Irthing, closer to other pictures in this thread.
Stu
Ok, I take my disqualification back! In which case i just dont know. It looks like its on that rock up on the westerrn side of the pennines?
I thought it was one of those drops on at the top of the Belah, but I guess not now.
Captain Scum
17-10-2007, 08:02 PM
is it the hindburn
callwild
18-10-2007, 01:58 PM
Not Belah or Hindburn although the first is closer.
Crossword Clue
A hot bank holiday in May spent in a small valley.
I must try weird pictures of more popular rivers in future, rather than pictures of weird rivers!!
steve ed
18-10-2007, 03:03 PM
that would be whitsunday beck then
chris foster
18-10-2007, 03:13 PM
Time to move onto the Times Crossword for you then Steve :)
callwild
18-10-2007, 04:17 PM
Very Close just your spelling
If we were a crossword it would be 11 letters !!
Captain Scum
18-10-2007, 08:28 PM
Looks like an old favourite of mine - Whitley Burn?
Liam Kirkham
19-10-2007, 02:31 PM
Peny Ghent Ghyll?
callwild
19-10-2007, 06:18 PM
Steve is nearest just missed "small valley" bit out from the clue.
Being a bit pedantic really, time to go onto another I think.
Does that make it whitsundale then?
callwild
20-10-2007, 11:56 AM
yep
A worthy addition to the upper Swale when its flowing.
steve ed
22-10-2007, 01:45 PM
Looks like cowen head rapid on the kent
Obviously far to easy for some! You got another Steve?
callwild
22-10-2007, 01:49 PM
5/4 Letters.
That which leads the bullocks mother.!!
Thought I'd continue with clues rather than answers due to my intimate study of most local rivers.

You radical playboater stu
its a tricky one not much to go on im thinking north cumbria
callwild
24-10-2007, 08:42 PM
Not Eden.
Its at the confluence of two rivers!
robbeale
24-10-2007, 11:12 PM
Not a dickie! Need a clue!!
callwild
26-10-2007, 01:37 PM
Didn't think it was that hard.
You all obviously spend too long south of Dunmail Raise.
A play spot at the junction of two popular rivers, north lakes, the eddy line is pretty unique.
More Clues, hmm,...... are those oak trees in the background?
robbeale
26-10-2007, 05:59 PM
confluence of Greta and Derwent?? Far out guess!
callwild
27-10-2007, 02:12 PM
Not that confluence, although I wish it was as it would be easier to access.
Frith
28-10-2007, 07:54 PM
Is it on the upper Derwent at a funny fold line? At the confluence with Langstrath Beck?
If it is I've had some great fun in a fully bagged open canoe there. Virtually filling it up and sinking then popping out again. Cool bit of water.
