It was in fine form!!
Reputedly, the fastest flowing river in England

On one of our previous visits (just pre-Covid), you walk along the concrete 'weir' to the end, & almost walk across the river

Forgot!!

On the evening of Wednesday 16th, we had intended to go to a pub (Kestrel) in Harrogate to eat, but it was fully booked
So, in the fog, & dark, we set off westwards along the A59, to The Sun, heading back to the caravan was worse, as it about 100yards visibility at points
