So far, a nondescript moorland watercourse draining the vast flank of West Baugh Fell. Just downstream it leaps over a considerable waterfall.

Waterfall, Nor Gill

Quite an impressive fall of about 6m, spectacular on a wet day.

Exposure of coal measures, Whinny Gill

Ali is standing on a remarkable little arete of soft shale that forces the beck to make a violent meander. It probably won't last for too many more years. There are several disused pits in a line running through this vicinity.
