Fence with gate and sculpture

The gate is approached by a bridleway which joins an estate road beyond. Pedestrians can avoid opening the gate by using a stile that isn't obvious in the image - it passes through the sculpture going behind the left hand sheep and pillar.

The land on the south side of the River Tees retains a lot of water. The footpath which forms part of the Pennine Way has been well constructed to avoid any damp problems.

The upper part of Salmon Leap Fall (aka The Dogleg) on the Tees

Clive Hall of Swaledale Outdoor Club running Salmon Leap Falls (also known as the Dogleg), a grade IV rapid on the River Tees, at a nice winter level. Entry down the ramp behind Clive's helmet and directly in front of the kayak in the background, avoiding rocks then turning sharply right into the main flow which is very bouncy. Clive is about to go over a drop into a boily pool, from which NY8928 : The Middle drop, Dogleg rapid (Salmon Leap) on the Upper Tees is the bit most likely to catch people out.

River Tees at the big island

This tributary of the River Tees often runs dry as the main flow of the river is on the far side of the island on the left of the photograph. Crossing to the island today was not an option as there was too much water flowing and George up on the rocks to the right was not keen on getting his feet wet.
