After the visit on the 20th of February, there was a rise in the water level of the river which hid the timbers. However a visit on the 12 of May found that the level had dropped sufficiently to expose the timbers to view once again.

Composite image of exposed timbers - and no, the traffic cone is not part of them

The next photograph shows a close up of the central area of the above image.

The timbers between the two red lines are those originally exposed. The two yellow lines bracket a new line of timber exposed by more recent erosion.

In the third photograph ar some timbers which are just out of shot on the left of the first photograph

Plank like timbers

It shows some plank-like structures as well as remnants of vertical timbers.

Finally you may recall from a previous page that I mentioned how carefully the Countryside Ranger, Simon Wood was wading down the river because of hidden dangers. Well this next photograph demonstrates why you should not jump into waters that you are not familiar with.

Hidden "Stakes" in the river

Just downstream from the last photograph, and normally hidden by the murky water of the river, there are at least three lines of these nasty looking "stakes" protruding from the river bed. Not something you would want to fall onto.
