Thomas Gill Waterfall After meeting up with Tongue Gill, Thomas Gill flows through a narrow ravine the south side of which is very shaley and unstable. This is a fine waterfall. A footpath from Tan Hill to Ravenseat follows the southern edge.

Autoboof on Stonesdale Beck It's always good to get a run in on a stream that is so rarely in condition that it isn't in any guidebook. Despite the apparent utter comprehensiveness of the recently issued Canoe and Kayak Guide to NorthWest England, Stonesdale Beck isn't in it, though the nearby Whitsundale Beck is, so we were ecstatic to find not only enough water, but also brilliant sunshine for our day of ditch-bashing in Swaledale and started here with a put-in from the road a short way upstream. This is the second drop, the first being more of a slide, whilst this is more of a ledge drop, which automatically provides the paddler with a boof into the large pool below.

West Stonesdale Engine Shaft This shaft was sunk in the 19th Century, in an attempt to locate the powerful lead vein worked in the upper reaches of Gunnerside Gill. It was unwatered by an hydraulic engine (similar to a steam engine but using high pressure water) which was contained in this building. The water raised by the engine and also its exhaust, was led to the stream via a short adit. The shaft is flooded to near the collar and the engine house is in a parlous state of repair.
