Crammel Linn
For two miles above the village of Gilsland the River Irthing flows through the Irthing Gorge, flanked by mainly sandstone crags. Within the upper section of this gorge, 3km from Gilsland, lies the spectacular 7.6 metre (25 feet) Crammel Linn waterfall.
A difficult day to shoot, the bright sunshine meant that one half of the falls was in shadow, the other side glaringly bright. The sunflare and sunspots from the spray were impossible to avoid. Three of the better ones, I would say I'm going back... but the climb down was awful, and getting back up was worse! Glad I've been though, a very pretty place indeed!
