Last time I was using a washing machine in a farm, it delayed multiple times, probably down to the low water pressure.
Then my own washing machine played up, it took 3 hours before it would finish, despite having trying to stop it. This time was probably down to overloading.
The washing machines are too smart.
In the BBC Secret History of Writing, it reminded us that we spoke much longer than we wrote. And when we invented writing, we did not invent a symbol for everything, so we borrowed what we had invented, and some has evolved into Sarabit, Alphabet and Hiragana. So any anomaly of any any languages, we can just pin them all on this Rebus Principle.
Our little trip was based in a farm cottage, and we were surrounded by wild lives and farm activities. I never thought I would see a real life sheep herding.
In a high traffic Dales Way, there is a Hebden Suspension Bridge. The bridge is both longer and wobblier than I expected.
We were hoping to see a fall in Burnsall, as indicated on the OS map, we had to trek thorough a field with a bull warning sign to not see a fall nor a trickle.
We got closer and closer to where the map indicated, we still haven't seen it, we worried if Linton Falls actually exists, or visible, like the Clough Force.
We finally saw the falls, and it did not disappoint. Especially it has been raining, and a floodgate was open just upstream.
We knew the Dalesman was travelling in the area, so we parked up with a small picnic on Aisgill Moor / Bridge. We were quite early, but there were already a few cars.
And additionally, we also spotted another two trains.
On our way to standup paddleboarding, we explored Ambleside a little by visiting Stock Ghyll Force. Apparently it is only of the best kept secret of Ambleside as Sarah had never been all the times they stayed at Ambleside. The falls has a few tiers making the walk entertaining.
Cautley Spout looks very impressive on all the photos, with a challenging hike to match. To be fair, you can see Cautley Spout not far from the main road, if you just want a photo, you could take one and claim to have been there.
Catrake Force was fifth and last falls in our Keld waterfalls ramble. It is shown prominently on the OS map, but it is tucked away at the bottom of a campsite. The river is also "inaccessible".
Kidson Force was the fourth falls on our Keld waterfalls ramble. OS map seem to indicate it incorrectly, we and a few others have ended up on top of East Gill and overlooking Kidson. We can see a big group of people with swimming gear hiked down to the force. Undeterred, we hike around to see Kidson.
The sign only say Kidson Upper Force, when we got there, we understand. The path to the upper force was already difficult, the unofficial path to lower force was very treacherous, I am glad I made it.
East Gill Force, was not named on the OS map, was our third falls in our Keld waterfalls ramble. I cannot seem to find any names for the beck feeding East Gill on either OS or Google. It is only short walk from Keld Centre.
The falls are very impressive.
