Wet and Wild!

Wednesday, October 2nd 2019

Yorkshire has had more than its fair share of rainfall over the last few days and this has had a huge impact on the series of ponds and lakes all over the reserve.

The cascading ponds at the head of the lake have been quite spectacular!

It is good to see that the newly renovated dams have stood firm as have the boulders that were added by volunteers at the base of each one.

The roar of fast running water could be heard almost everywhere, here is the outflow from the main lake.

Risedale Beck has also been very high but fortunately, so far there has been no real damage to any of the footpaths and bridges.

Having a sense of place and connectedness, being grounded is important for our general wellbeing and mental health. This is an invitation to pause and explore what being in nature can offer you.

Enjoy an afternoon of wellbeing starting with some mind awareness followed by a gentle walk where you get to listen, smell and watch what is around you and connect with any feelings which arise.
