Have you checked the Salmon jumping at Stainforth Force:



There were a few there this weekend but you are probably best waiting until we've had some rain.

Scaleber Force - on the little road that leads out of the Market Place in Settle up to Kirby Malham is another waterfall that is worth checking out - it looks better once the leaves have gone from the trees (and the woods further along the track have long-eared owls):

Fab piccies Rob!!! Oh dear... feel another trip out coming on hehe!

Scalebar Force reminds me a bit of Aysgarth.

It's better - there's never anybody there! You do have to get quite low down in the gorge to get this photo though which can be a bit dodgy when it's wet.

Look forward to seeing your photos, especially if you manage to get a leaping salmon - I've been trying for years.

Hurrah! I used to work as a manageress at the tearooms at Aysgarth about 14 yrs ago - mecca for pesky tourists (sorry peeps!) and sadly I was just too late to see Kevin Costner do his bit there whilst filming Robin Hood dammit!

OK, I'll make sure I've got my clamp-ons and a rope attached to a tree lol!

Don't hold ya breath....

Looks like I've got 2 trips to look forward to now, thanks Rob Btw, when's the next grand prix?!?

An interesting day out this. I had to wait a good couple of hours on a visit last year, but when a beaut finally leapt up, it was well worth it. Alas the missus was faffing in her rucksack and missed it!
