River Tees below the County bridge

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: River Tees below the County bridge This section of the River Tees, between the County bridge and the footbridge behind the photographer, has always seen friendly relations between canoeists and other river users, even in the dark days when it was not recognised that a right of navigation exists on all physically navigable rivers. The part by The Sills, between the bridge and the small ledge drop behind the paddlers here, has been a very popular place to introduce beginners to moving water. The bigger arch takes most of the flow at low to moderate levels, and forms a jet with eddies both sides which is perfect for practicing break in, break out and ferry glide techniques. Those with playboats and a need to practice technique find this a good spot for stern squirts. With access so relaxed, it has also been possible to take more skilled groups upstream by eddy hopping and crossing on the many waves which form upstream of the bridge. At higher levels, this is a good place to put in for a river trip downstream to Abbey Rapids and on to Whorlton or Winston, or to take out after a trip down from Cotherstone.
