Waterfall - at Malham Cove
- Thread starter mrcharly
- Start date
Yeh, every path has been washed away on my usual dog walking routes. Its literally feels like its been gails and raining for about three months non stop!
One of the woods, must have had 20 trees, all over 125 foot, blown over. Scots pines, Sitka Spruce, Larch. Thats Bingley way.
Its actually getting dangerous on the moors now. Theres peat on normally safe paths that'll suck you straight under above halifax.
Flooded roads every where. Crazy weather. For weeks. The river Aire at Skipton, carleton, has flooded numerous fields, right up to my mates door. He says he can fish out of his window!
Ive not known it go on for this long before.

Is that ironic understatement?
It's not at all certain when there was last a waterfall at Malham Cove. Not in living memory, some suggestions say as long as not in the last 200 years.
