This afternoon we drove up to Kirkby Stephen with Rachael and Mike to visit Stenkrith. It may be several years since we were last here but it hasn't changed and, for most of the time, we were the only people there. We fished for tiddlers, with Rachael quickly capturing ten.
The river was full of water the colour of beer and the mossy areas were quite slippery.
Once we had released the tiddlers we walked upstream to the flat rocks and constructed a dam that was almost watertight.
We finished the afternoon in warm sunshine.
From the walkway beside the road bridge we had a clear view of the River Eden and the strange shapes that it has carved in the rocks.
