New Tees Webcam

[Big Henry]

At the end of last month I added a thread showing that the webcam at Barnard Castle, looking at the County Bridge looked like it had gone. I just checked my link to the same webcam (that I lazily hadn't changed/removed) and found that it is live again but pointing at a different part of the river, according to the label still the Tees. As far as I can tell, it looks like a higher section of Abbey Rapids, but I may be completely wrong. Can anyone else identify it?

Ken will be pleased... :-)

The old camera is still on the restuarant pointing at the bridge, I wonder where this one is fixed, I agree with you it looks like the section above Abbey rapids proper...

Yeah I agree... defo looks like the top of Abbery? Is it on the side of the house up there?

Hmmph - there were street lights on the old one, so you could see the level at night (ie. about two thirds of the time in the wet winter season). This one is pitch dark !

It's mounted on the end of a sawn off branch a little way down from the steps from the slalomists' carpark. Must be recent as the sawn off branch was in pieces lying in the river, forming a bit of an obstacle. We spent about twenty minutes pulling it out of the river before we could park and play yesterday. Some of it might still wash back in with a big flood, but it's mostly high enough up the bank to be safe - I'll probably be back with some tools to have a lot of it for firewood - one assumes that dumping it in the river indicates that it is not wanted by whoever cut it...
