A Force on High teases us in Teesdale with sun, sun, sun!

Great effort Susie well worth it too by the look of those photos, such vivid greens and all that wonderful sunshine

Even though we were shaded by the trees, my hands kept slipping on the handles of the sticks

I was on crutches for a year and had this problem, I put neoprene on the handles which provided some lovely cushioning, remained non slippery in the wet and could be rolled off and washed as often as needed, maybe give that a go....though there's probably some modern equivalent available now I guess.

Thanks, Chris
I'll look into something for the handles of my sticks; I usually wear my old cycling gloves but it was too hot for that!!

Well done Susie , I really enjoyed the pics and your report, it's been a few years now since we were at High Force. Love your determination and yes a bit of stubborness is essential , gets you to reach places where others fail. Keep your reports coming always a great read . Thanks.

Wonderful water shots. I enjoy playing around with differnt shutter speeds too, it can give the image a whole new look.

Enjoyed the pics and report. It's nice to see High Force from the usual side - a lovely place. In the past I would only walk in Scotland and The Lake District, but we've "discovered" our home counties of Northumberland and Durham, as well as North Yorkshire. I was particularly struck by how beautiful and diverse upper Teesdale is.

Great to see you getting out and about Susan, loving those waterfall shots well worth the effort

Hi Susie - Lovely report and pictures as always. We went there many years ago when we'd been camping just above Hardraw Force and woke up surrounded by a pond... When we got to High Force there was loads of water everywhere - mainly falling out of the sky - but no sunshine - you've caught the light beautifully.

Very best wishes,

Daniel and Clare.

Lovely report and pictures as always

Thank you Daniel and Clare
I hope you're both well and nice to hear from you.
