Message received from Mark D:
Paddled the Lower Rawthey from Sedbergh and only noticed barbed wire fastened to posts into mid river as we approached it. The wire is on the last rapid just above the bridge at the usual 'get out' before the Lune confluence. It comes into mid river from the river right bank and is fastened to some solid posts into the river bed. Its easy to get arond it and doesn't spoil the rapid but needs watching for. It is visible from the bridge if you know what you are looking for, I will be fastening some tapes to it to make it more visible but its too solid to remove the posts.
