It's a shame that the footbridge didn't reveal itself, however at this point I think it's better if it never does. Scary to see how much water we've lost over the dry spell.
I don't think people realise that before rivers can flow at normal levels the ground has to be re-hydrated first and given the lack of rain so far this will take a long time. Let's hope winter is a wet one because if not next summer will be challenging.
Thanks for documenting this Martin. It maybe the last time this generation sees this, and future generations will look back and see something that if you had not recorded, would be lost forever. Great video.👍
@@MartinZero So true... At my time in life I know I'll never see it again, although, I have seen the drowned village of Tryweryn, Llyn Celyn once and, possibly as the water level drops I may see it one more time. History, and the past needs to be saved and you are doing a grand job, keep it up.😄
Hi Martin. I reckon your suggestion of the walls/jetties in the reservoir possibly having a sluice mechanism at one point, would be quite a strong possibility. Just a minor detail, but the fences on each jetty/wall going across them (blocking any access, not the ones on the sides) suggest a smaller dam, or indeed, as you suggested, a sluice. The fences just remind me of that prominent kind of feature often found at the top of dam walls. Cheers, kind regards, GWR
Good of you to go back and show us what's been revealed at the reservoir since your visit last month, Martin. It's incredible that items have been hidden away by the depth of water of the years, and now come to light during this very dry year. Many thanks for this showing.
Great video, I have never seen it this low. I do remember in 1989 it being really low and below the dam wall being littered with stolen motorbike frames, old safes and the coin boxes from phone boxes. I am not sure if it was Baitings or nearby Scammonden they found the remains of some dodgy car dealer from Manchester that had been weighted down with chains. Those dam walls have seen more than their fair share of nefarious business.😲
Hi Martin, I've just discovered your channel full of extraordinary and fascinating videos. It's an amazing channel you have. There has been many a long late night clued to the laptop. Top rank my friend, 😀😀😀
I really liked this one. Mixing in today and yesterday. You have a passion which I recognise. Keep it going. I wish I was a history teacher, we could give our pupils a link to you channel. Absolutely captivating
Baitings Res feeds Ryburn. Most reservoirs are connected to others further down the valleys. Obviously the lowest res fills up before the higher ones hence why they take so long to all fill. We are still on a hosepipe ban in Yorkshire, it’s ruddy raining as I watched this video tonight. The water companies are profit before service like many others
One day of rain doesn't mean it's wet. Look at long term averages. But yes, water companies should not be private. Private companies need to make profit, which is fully understandable, so allowing a basic resource to be monetised (especially when we all paid for the infrastructure already) is just criminal.
Nice surprise mid week video.martin...wow what hides beneath ...its amazing how much water has disappeared..Great work as always made my day when it notified me you had posted a video...take care luv and light xxx
These videos have blown my mind! My sister lives a mile away; sadly because of work don't have the time to visit! So massively appreciated these incredible videos! Much love and thanks from the South! 😇
The lack of water is concerning. However, what this reveals is most interesting, and, above all, the photography in this video is painstakingly informative, due to the angles, and accompanying narratives. Brilliant. Well done, and thank you M.Z.
Great video as usual Martin , sad to see the water level so low but also what an ideal time for the water company responsible for this reservoir to do some maintenance/ dredging etc
Do a drone shot of the area you think held the path. In researching the settlement of the U.S., old roads and pathways were easily traceable even after two hundred years due to the fact they were heavily used and the ground packed down by traffic on them. One of my husband’s ancestors owned a home that was actually a stage coach stop and tavern in the early 17-1800’s. A drone shot actually helped us determine the where the road ran, and by researching the pieces of land around the road helped us determine exactly where their house stood.
Thanks Martin, for a fantastic update on this reservoir. Some of the previous commenters sound about right about the history of the engineering involved. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Your drone-footage at the beginning clearly shows water being released at the foot of the dam, so it's possible that the authorities are taking advantage of the dry conditions to drain the reservoir to carry out maintenance work on the dam! You guys should also think about returning with metal-detectors to see what will turn up!
its a nice idea but you need permission which the water authority wont give, your better off keeping it "eyes only". if you said sod it and just went some herbert would report you, then they could confiscate your machine, just not worth the knobache.
Stevie-Ray, I doubt it. Virtually all dams/reservoirs, have a 'minimum flow' of water that they have to constantly maintain coming out below the dam, in order to keep the downstream river 'alive'.
Great Video again Martin. I have read a lot of comments saying they must be draining it. I wish that was true. West Yorkshire especially the Worth Valley & Keighley reservoirs are so low that a temporary pipeline is having to be laid to pump water from Calderdale. Without it we will run out of water. The ground is so dry we have family who rely on spring water for their homes . They ran out of water at the beginning of summer. Last time this happened the water table raised so slowly it took until Christmas before the tanks started filling up. We need it to rain and keep raining other wise next year could be so much worse.
Springs and wells thag feed farms in mid Wales have also dried up. 7 months of beliw average eainfall over winter followed by a hot summer... Next year will be worse unless we see above average rainfall from now until March
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do. I do indeed hope to set foot in your country and look upon theses gems for myself. Astounding work sir.
6:00 That's an earlier weir with what remains of the sluice-mechanism. Possibly also used to hold back the water while the foundations of the dam were constructed.
Great update video, thanks for going back. Definitely looks like there was some kind of weir there before. My cousin has been sharing some photos just the other side of the hill and it looks so green, perhaps that Post10 bloke is lurking about up there Good luck from Spain!! PS: The reservoirs look equally depleted over here too.
Martin- the water is rather clear. If you put your drone up, perhaps around midday, you may be able to see down into the lake, maybe catch the shadows of other structures. Just an idea, nice video, thanks for the update!
I was at Ladybower Reservoir yesterday and it is almost as low as 2018, revealing the remains of Derwent village, our uk reservoirs do hold some secrets within their depths
That looks to me like an older, smaller dam, the walls are curved to resist the pressure by transmitting the force of it to the banks (a gravity arch dam).
I was looking around on the National Library of Scotland site and found something that might come in useful. There's a link at the top of the side by side maps saying "explore georeferenced maps". On that page there's a search option in the top left where you can put in an OS grid reference and it'll show where it is on the map. Turns out there's a load of apps for phones that'll give you the grid reference of where you're standing. So you could just get your grid reference from that and then view the old map for where you are. It should make things like finding the path to the footbridge easier.
To add to your search for the footbridge: look at the footage at 0:04. There is something sticking up from the water, directly above the video timer and possibly another one a little to the right, and it appears to be in alignment with the path/trees. I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's part of the footbridge.
It is amazing how dry everything is at the moment. I go past a handful of reservoirs in my job as a trucker and in all the years Iv been doing my route I have never seen them as low as they are at the moment
We had a really dry winter. Below average rainfall for 7 months running. People never see it like that they just remembed the rain. And nobody appreciates the drizzle we get does not do much in terms of topping up rivers and reservoirs and the intense rain is so intense our dated infrastructure has no chance of capturing useful amounts of it. I think this is why many still don't believe in climate change... they don't see the figures or how that impacts things like storage, levels etc. So while the storage got us through this summer next year might be a bigger issue. Expect hosepipe bans next summer unless we get 7 months of above average (120%) rainfall (and that's not the long term forecast which suggests it'll be an average winter). Lets just hope it's not dry!
Thanks for the update Martin.....let's hope we have some rain soon but not the sort to cause flooding but a steady run off from the land to cover this hidden landscape for another generation
Only just seen this video and I am wondering how the water level is at the beginning of 2023. Hopefully as the water levels rise these fascinating relics of the past will again be submerged. I nearly said of the past that it was just water under the bridge - glad that I didn't write that as it is one of my worst puns of all time. Keep your videos coming!
Great update video Martin nice surprise, I can't believe that no hose pipe ban has been put in place for Lancashire and surrounding areas but it's great to see these otherwise really hidden gems that you're showing us today. Thanks for sharing if we don't get much rain soon we will see even more as the water coming out looks more than what's going in at moment.👍
Q: How much further down can the water go? A: Take the height that it is now. Subtract zero (the number, not the person) from that. The result is the answer. Kidding aside, thanks for the update. Maybe another one next month? You could combine it with the HBUJ. All are welcome! The really slippery and steep part, off of which we have been warned, reminds me of my geology field trip days.
I hope that you get rain soon but not too heavy. Many of the old dams in New England had siltation problems. So, they built them so that the dam could be opened up to send the silt down stream. Good video. Good Luck, Rick
Interesting to see history reveal itself. Wonder if the small dam was the coffer built to block the river while they built the dam? Very much looks like the control equipment for a sluice with the pylon for adjusting gates and railing.
Now that is lower than I have ever seen it, I have seen the fence on the jetty part before but not the walkway, amazing. No major rain forecast so it can only get lower, may have to have to pop up at weekend.
That is crazy the amount it has dropped! Near to me is a similar sight at Ogden Reservoir outside of Halifax but there isnt anything that is revealed like here.
Thanks for the update. As others have said I can't believe that it has got lower with us having some rain. I wonder if Ladybower is lower than in August too. Is Roy losing weight? Here's me putting it on. Bugger.
There’s an episode of the Eleventh Hour starring Patrick Stewart about a kid that’s cured of cancer from drinking spring water. It turns out the water is actually heavy water, but they use the Baitings Dam as the secret plant where the heavy water was made. Only just noticed after watching this video today.
Well seems that Vegas is putting water from the reservoirs into underground aquifers, so it's happening apparently in some places. Might not be to unthinkable.
@@keithbstar1 that's not really how reservoirs work. They don't drain so much as pump water out. So if they're pumping it out, it's because they need to use it for something
that little ''jetty'' you found is a sluice gate! would have been used prior to the dam to control the flow of water down the valley. design wise it looks very much 1900s
I hope the authorities have made use of the record low water levels and got their inspections done on bridges etc. while they can be done in the dry. It's much easier than underwater inspection.

Wow! What a difference a month makes! By the way, the maple leaf on your jacket did not go unnoticed by this Canadian gal! 🇨🇦🍁 Cheers!
The quality of the stonework on that bridge 😍
It's a shame that the footbridge didn't reveal itself, however at this point I think it's better if it never does. Scary to see how much water we've lost over the dry spell.
It’s lovely to see the things what never see light of day but when they do appear it spoils the mystery and wonder
Mostly because of gross mismanagement of wayer reserves by the privatised water companys.
now imagine that dam wasn't build...than the problem would be much, much bigger..
I don't think people realise that before rivers can flow at normal levels the ground has to be re-hydrated first and given the lack of rain so far this will take a long time. Let's hope winter is a wet one because if not next summer will be challenging.

@@dilwyn1 if you see the bottom of Llyn Celyn please make a video
Great video! Every few years water level in the dam near my town is lovered for maintenance. I love walking the underwater grounds when they do it.
That's our history that is being revealed, thank so much. Have a great day,
That's scary, all that water gone. About time the water companies repaired all their leaking pipes and we consumed less water! Thanks for the update
Wow, that’s so low. Thanks for going back. Fascinating.
Yeah unbelievable

Yeah, looks like some form of earlier attempt at a Dam doesn't it.
The bit sticking up at the end of the wall definitely looks like a valve actuator
@@MartinZero Hi Martin. I have emailed you some information 👍

Nice little Wednesday night treat. Cheers martin 👍🏻
Fascinating stuff as ever.👍👍👍
My thoughts on the water release would be to keep water flowing down stream for the survival of the water life, otherwise it would be a dry creek bed.
Yeah that sounds sensible Barry
Interesting stuff 👍👍 there's got to be more reservoirs revealing unseen items locally. Great video.
Yeah there are more Paul

Be interesting to see what we find
Is the water supply for Wakefield taken from the Ryburn reservoir? could be why they are still letting water through Baitings into the Ryburn?
I was just thinking the same thing about the water flowing out

@@LiveLanes is the water pissing out the other side of the dam like this one. What's done on purpose can't be helped.

I hope the authorities have made use of the record low water levels and got their inspections done on bridges etc. while they can be done in the dry. It's much easier than underwater inspection.
With the bridge, the tie off bollard on the end of the pier would seem to suggest it was for boat moorring so maybe an access gate of some sort ?
