Thank you, despite the weather, there is something special about being back in the lakes.

looks great..can't remember the last time we visited the lakes...hope to get back up there soon.

[@TFSOutdoors]

Thank you, it had been almost a year to the day since I was last there. Way too long. It was great to be back up on the tops. It was a real breath of fresh air. Hope you manage to get back there soon.

3:20 trust me, that footbridge is ‘perfectly safe’, I crossed it earlier in the year. You missed the alternative crossing, which is downstream of the overturned footbridge.

[@TFSOutdoors]

Thank you for your comment, did you cross it while it was on its side? well done, if you did. It did look like quite a solid structure but we saw a sign telling us it was closed, so gave it a miss. We saw that there was an alternative bridge but didn't realise it was lower down, we thought it was further up, no wonder we couldn't find it, good to know for the future. ATB TFS

@@TFSOutdoorsyes, on it’s side! I believe that the bridge was constructed about 10 years ago when the dam was removed. However, as you will have seen on the slog up, at sometime recently there has been a tremendous deluge which has caused the beck to break its banks and erode the footpath. Probably the same flood that turned the footbridge on it’s side 🌧️🌧️🌧️
