Stainforth Scar
Could only take a photo from close to the waterfall because of the trees and lack of water!!
No problem in November 2009 . . .
but less water in October 1012 . . .
and April 2013 . . .
but lots of water in February 2019 . . .
a marked difference to today!!
Looking across to Smearsett Scar - just as a bird takes off
Stainforth stepping stones . . .
with very little water in Stainforth Beck
From the bridge over the River Ribble, too little water to be worth visitng Stainforth Force, and too many people
At Little Stainforth a farmer has nearly finished this field . . .
but still has another one to do
Smearsett Scar . . .
where you can just see the trig point . . .
which I visited in July 2019
The end, and possibly the highest point, of Giggleswick Scar
