Raging River

The seemingly endless rain has created some really swollen rivers around the U.K, especially up in the hills and mountains of Wales.

 

This is the remote and sparsely populated Grwyne Valley in the Black Mountains, the river flows out of the Grwyne Fawr Reservoir at the head of the mountain range above Mynydd Du forest.

 

The name probably originates from gweryn or gwerynau and mawr/fawr meaning 'large river at the wet place' quit an apt name if you have been up there recently.
