      By my opinion only not more than 10.000 years were necessary to form the strid. This valley seems to me as if it had been shaped by the last iceage an the river's water just deepened it. Similar erosion-figures are to be found in Germany - but they are not as spectacular.

    I live here. Nobody who goes IN comes out alive. In places the strid is said to be 1000ft deep with canyons and caves. At the mouth the strid it said that the geography of the cave is a series of hour glass shapes on top of eachother. The Strid is part of the mighty river Wharfe. Although the wharfe never actually "flash floods" it is the faStest rising and falling river in the UK.
    The Strid is both deadly and beautiful.
    When i go with my children i never let go of their hands. The Strid is deadly.

      "Jack a Snacks" a UK youtuber recently did some video expeditions to the Strid clocked the depth via sonar to approximately 66m (217ft) which is still mind boggling deep, that part being right at the whirlpool at the bottom of the falls. The strid is geological anomaly and falling in would pretty much be 100% fatal but it has yet to be proven to reach further depths than 66m.

    • @peggymorgan6355
      @peggymorgan6355 10 месяцев назад +1

      Possibility exists.Be cause technically NOBODY knows it’s true depth.So it’s ok to speculate.For all we know it could be 1000’s of feet.Look at the specs on underwater caves systems around the world.Some ARE a1000 ft deep documented!!So to say the strid is only 60meters deep is ignorant.

  • @eastwoodsadventures

  • @Lixmage
    @Lixmage Месяц назад +2

    Again, as a local, I can confirm that this stretch of river is lethal. It has been measured by sonar as being at least 60 m deep just after the waterfall and still about 25 m deep much further down. The currents about 2 m below the surface are so powerful they drag you down. The river has gouged out so much of the rock that the banks that you stand on are all overhangs. Furthermore the water churns so much over the waterfall that it is full of air bubbles. This means buoyancy in the water is dramatically reduced. Basically, if you go in you are not coming out alive. The real danger, I guess, is when the river is not in flood it looks so placid on the surface.

    I visited The Strid on a school trip in 1968, it was certainly an impressive sight, The Strid is claimed by locals to have a 100% fatality record and it doesn't give up it's victims readily, most are trapped in the whirlpools and caverns hidden within it's depths. Those corpses that do escape The Strid are washed downstream as far as five miles from where they met their doom. I have walked across the stepping stones on the wide section of the Wharfe, by Bolton Abbey, we had a picnic on the grass. The Abbey and The Strid are certainly worth visiting.

    It amazes how deep the potholes by the river are- to be so deep when they are dry most of the year. Also surprised by the lack of visitors, even in winter it is popular with the hardy rambler. Long ago I saw a teen jump over, but it was from the higher side when the rocks were dry.
    Trivia. There is a second strid on the river, a mile or so above Grassington Bridge called Ghaistrill's Strid. It cuts through Limestone so is wider.

    Back in the hot summer of 1976 most of the rivers in Yorkshire were reduced to a trickle for months due to the lack of rain and varius abstraction schemes to top up domestic water supplies. Just a shame nobody took the opportunity to survey this part of the river at that point as we could have had more of an insight into whats down between those stones. Going onto the more recent surveys it points to a submerged world where you would lose your life in a moment and due to its hidden depths and swirling currents needs to be given respect. When i lived in Yorkshire i have seen people jump across this maelstrom years ago fortunately they all made it but as we know not all were lucky.

I reached down and pulled them out by one arm but they could have climbed out themselves. I looked around for their Parents but again they were lucky they weren't there.

    Instinctively, you know there is something 'wrong' when you look down into that black water. Evidently, by the waterfall it's 200+ feet deep - that's deeper than the upstream river is as wide.
    Also, any poor unfortunate who fell in by the waterfall would sink like a stone due to the water having almost zero buoyancy.
    Certain death.
