On our way to Falling Foss, we stopped at Ruswarp, a little village in
North Yorkshire. I’ve been on the rowing boats several times when
I was younger but haven’t been for quite a few years. We were able to
park on the roadside right next to the River Esk and made our way over to the
boats.
We paid for an hour and I was surprised how far
along the river we managed to get before we had to turn back; I suppose the
faster you row, the more of the countryside you get to see. I was told
when I was little that there was a whirlpool at the end and, funnily enough, we
never ever got to it because I don’t think it actually exists!
