Dist:0.1km<br/>Unless anyone fancies their chances with the spikes and walking the pipe then it looks as if the footpath over the Leven to Backbarrow will be closed for some time.

Dist:0.2km<br/>In the background is the high and gnarly Backbarrow weir, which has been run in much higher water levels than seen here, at grade 5 . In the foreground is a much more runnable weir reached quickly after portaging the nasty weir on river left. In the low water level seen here, this is a bit of a bump down, but at higher levels develops a strong stopper river right, a tongue left of centre (to the visual right of the paddler seen here) and a hole on river left.
