Unnamed waterfalls in Bowlees Beck, this is the first waterfall that you see as you walk up from the car park at Bowlees if you follow the trail along to Gibson's Cave

Another view of the falls, there is another slightly smaller fall just above these, which is not visible from here 

A slightly closer view

Looking along Bowlees Beck with Summerhill Force in the distance, it was lovely with the sun light filtering through the trees

Summerhill Force

I next walked down to the River Tees to see the falls at Low Force, which were stunning as normal!

The middle of the three falls which make up Low Force

and the upper falls ....

The lower falls are just above the Wynch Bridge, an old suspension bridge

Low Force, don't think I will ever get tired of this view

I then drove the short distance up to the High Force Hotel to visit High Force

Care needs to be taken climbing over the boulders to get down to the waters edge, they are very slippery when wet

The first of the rain drops started to appear on the filter!

I still managed to get some really nice shots of High Force before the rain got to bad

I tried to find some shelter under the trees, but it didn't help keep the filter dry

So I packed up and headed home, calling in at The Teesdale Gallery to see my friend Andy Beck on the way

Andy was in the middle of planning his next trip out on the fells as part of his Wainwrights in Colour Project

Some of his finished work hanging upstairs in the gallery, this photo doesn't do it justice, please visit his web site to see how stunning his watercolour paintings really are (and before you ask no I'm not on commission!)
