Just to let you all know a short 50 second video of Jonny and me at Janet's Foss is now online.
Janet's Foss is a waterfall steeped in history - it is said a fairy used to live in the cave behind the waterfall, before the plunge pool became used as a sheep dip by local farmers. This 20 foot fall, near Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales, is also a designated SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) because the minerals in the water deposit on the rock of the fall, meaning that it actually grows outwards instead of eroding back into the cliff (think a stalagmite in a cave) like a normal waterfall would.
Visit http://broadbandsports.com/node/5101 to view.
The waterfall itself holds special memories for the both of us. We first ran it two years ago, almost to the day, after just one year of paddling. I also did my first ever roll in the plunge pool at the bottom, and we got a one hell of a rollecking off our old college lecturer for being irresponsible and running before we could walk (metaphorically)! Ah, the memories....
