The Strid

Followed the River Wharfe from Barden Bridge to The Strid and back. A very quiet walk, the only things I heard were the Lapwings and Curlews calling.
It's danger  comes from the speed at which the River Wharfe narrows at the point it becomes the Strid. Here it is deep, fast-flowing, has very strong undercurrents and is riddled with underwater overhangs, rocky outcrops and caves. It's deepest point is 213ft!
People who fall in whilst attempting to jump across, do not come out alive.
