Pot Hole in Twiss River Bed.
  • Location: Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, North Yorkshire.
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 09/08/07.

This picture is pretty much self explanatory. A deep pot hole worn into the river bed. Again sorry for my lack of scale, the hole is approximately 1&1/2ft in diameter.

Thornton Force 2.
  • Location: Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, North Yorkshire.

. This time unimpeded by human presence.

Thornton Force 1
  • Location: Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, North Yorkshire.
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 09/08/07.

This is Thornton Force. The gent in the photo was some random rambler, hippy looking bloke. (If he didn't want to be in my picture he should have moved out of the way.) However, his presence does illustrate the scale of the falls well.

Natural Arch
  • Location: Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, North Yorkshire.
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 09/08/07.

This feature, just above Hollybush Spout, is very similar to the depression shown on the previous picture. Although it looks like a man-made culvert, it is in fact completely natural - in the gloom beneath the arch there is smooth solid, albeit concave, rock worn by the force of water when the river is in flood.

Pecca Falls
  • Location: Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, North Yorkshire.
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 09/08/07.

This is the first of the second set of pictures, taken whilst following the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. This is Pecca Falls on the River Twiss, descending over Pre-Carboniferous slates of the Ingletonian Series. As I posted on a previous photo, this site provides a pretty respectable overview of the geology of the area.

Waterfall
  • Location: White Scar Caves, North Yorkshire.
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 09/08/07

This, my final contribution from this set of photos, is my attempt at an "artsy" shot. Other than being in a cave it doesn't have much to do with geology, but I like it and thought I'd share it. And yes, if anybody asks... it was completely deliberate! *Removes tongue from cheek.*
