Notes
Follow river right footpath from the watermill in Boot until above the get in where there is hole in the wall. Descend down bracken covered slope to access the river at 54.403379, -3.266930 Get out river left before you reach the outflow from the waterwheel. There is a significant fall which may be an interesting jump much further up at 54.407621, -3.263086 with a lengthy river walk to join the section described here. Some previous issues with access.
Description
A mixture of slides (sensible to manage with ropes), jumps (none mandatory) and down climbs, with one abseil. Significant hydraulics exist in many places with the potential to trap canyoneers, even in low water. Expect to spend lots of time swimming in deep pools. Anchors installed August 25.
