Scalebar Force, Settle, Yorkshire Dales by Steve Liptrot

Featured in the Waterfall Photography and Mountain and Light groups DEC 2008. Scaleber Force is convenienly situated by the road side (Settle to Airton) so nobody needs walk more than a few yards to view the waterfall. As with many waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales its a surrounded by a small copse. The drop on the waterfall is around 20 feet. The best option to include the waterfall with a decert walk is from Malham Tarn to Settle via Langscar Gate then Stockdale Lane rather than the usual route past Attermire Scar.

Alien Falls by Iain Houston

While exploring Campsie Glen beyond Lennoxtown, I wanted to take some shots of the waterfall to have a wee play with, and this is one of the ‘weird’ ones. The River Glazert ends in this nice wee waterfall, and is a blessing on a nice hot sunny day. It’s a great glen to explore, and a walk/scramble along the river is great fun.
