View of Semer Water from Wether Fell

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

A great high speed grassy decent down the side of Wether Fell. Slow to start off with, your speed soon picks up as you progress.

It's a pretty non-technical descent, as many are around here, although your speed can be high. And it's likely to be slippery in the wet, so take care.

Source of the River Wharfe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beckermonds means the splitting of two becks is where the Wharfe officially starts but the source is at the end of Oughtershaw Beck according to John Ellison author of Walking the Wharfe, who I took my inspiration from.
