Description

Approach from parking at Bowness Knott via forest tracks to the bridge over Low Beck. Follow the path uphill river right of Low Beck to reach the upper forest track. Walk a short way down the track towards High Beck before going uphill through an old fire break to where various walls cross the river at 54.504631, -3.300870 Get out at the lower bridge at 54.510318, -3.302912 The falls are all short, with various options to escape or avoid throughout. Mix of anchors and ghosting required at times. At various points, multiple falls may need to be run together hence the long rope suggestion. A worthy combination with Low Beck, its steeper neighbour.
