No sluicegates! The start of the mill race for Bishopton Mill. Bishopton Mill burnt down in 1916 so I'd imagine that this cut has been without its sluice-gate for sometime.

Roofless shed near the allotments There are several allotments over to the left. The shed appears quite old but has had some partial renovation which doesn't yet extend to a roof. The track used to go to Bishopton Mill.

The River Laver above Bishopton Weir A good footpath ends at this point. I was hoping it would allow me to cross the river but I presume it originally just went to the mill which no longer exists.

Dry valley near Sunley Raynes Dry valley in the gentle hill country to the west of Ripon. Is the valley dry because the underlying rock is permian limestone, or is it an abandoned glacial overflow channel, of which there are several in this area?
