Summerhill Force

Sunday, 7 February 2010

We didn't get too far this weekend due to my neck/back been really sore after my latest trip to the physio on Friday afternoon. It is working, as I'm feeling loads better, but after a two week break I could just about manage to stand up on Saturday. The weather was really lousy all weekend, with it been really foggy so it didn't bother that much. We decided to have another short walk at Summerhill Force and Low Force on Sunday morning. I'd struggled to get some nice shots of the waterfalls when we were there a couple of weeks ago, so this visit was purely aimed at getting the photo's I wanted. I think you will agree with me after looking at the photo's it was well worth it?

This set of falls hasn't got a name, but there are really nice and are the first set you come to after leaving the car park

A close up shot of the upper section of falls, I've still not worked out which is the best angle for these, but I'm still looking!

Above the first falls the river has loads of small cascades

As we found loads of canoeists enjoying the falls, so no nice slow shutter speed shots again for me!
