Dist:0.5km<br/>Heather Florence running the main drop of Redmire Force in lowish water on a Swaledale Outdoor Club trip. Although this is a nice enough level at which to run the Force, it is a bit low for the rest of the trip from Aysgarth to Wensley. Compare with [[[1189911]]] with a water level ideal for most of the river, but too high to provide acceptable safety cover to run Redmire Force.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Not as spectacular as Aysgarth Falls (but quieter).

Dist:0.5km<br/>These Teesdale Canoe Club paddlers have made a wise decision to portage Redmire Force, putting back in just below the falls river left - hidden by branches at the right of this photo. There is still a stopper to negotiate, visible as a line of aerated water behind the cyan boat and in front of the blue one. The usual line to run the falls is directly behind the head of the foreground paddler (yellow boat) and a confident paddler in a creek boat might well get past the stopper at this level, but if not, a rescue would be difficult to arrange - the line is too far for a throwline from river left, and river right bank is not accessible above the falls at this level. With this much water, the rest of the trip from Aysgarth to Wensley, often low, is at a very pleasant level. At a lower level, the [[[1189889]]] is a much safer proposition, but parts of the rest of the river can be a scrape.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Showing the biggest 'step' at Redmire Force. Here the Ure drops around 2 metres. There are no further significant falls or rapids downstream from Redmire until one reaches Hack Fall [SE2377] below Masham, where the Ure has cut a post glacial gorge.
