Knottingley Weir, combining a new Hydro-Electric plant

Almost panoramic, as thumbnails!!



I rode along the bank of the River Aire, from Ferrybridge to the weir
I had tried to get to it before once, but was about a mile too far downstream

Where's the Weir?; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3617466

It's the same company that constructed 'Kirkthorpe Hydro'
Please view the following post to that link, I do like that particular photograph, I think I did well there

I always think the official name should be Severn 'Beach'. Got my Gran's car slightly stuck on the 'beach' when I was learning to drive... I think I found the only bit of sandy stuff for miles...

Looks like the Mendips to me, looking west - Crook Peak and the Somerset Levels in the distance.

Tried to ride around Coniston Water, wind in excess of 60mph, horizontal rain, the final straw was.

@Dave 123 those pics were taken on the West Mendips Way, along the bridleway from King's Wood to Crook Peak. Nearby Black Down and Rowberrow Warren are well worth a look too, loads of bridleways criss-crossing up there.

Well done @briantrumpet for spotting it!

These are from yesterday, but I had no means of posting until now.

I was a bit surprised to find one of these so close to home, in Brittany:

A pleasure to use, and extremely well-kept, in keeping with everything else at the location:

The water was absolutely gorgeous, but I'd forgotten my swimming things...

With the amount of people there would it have mattered?
