This is interesting information. They have also kindly provided information on river levels so responsible kayakers & canoeists can choose when to paddle with due environmental responsibility.
Done any NE/NW rivers not on the site? PM me!
Re: RIVER SOUTH TYNE (Alston to Slaggyford)
The link to the Tyne Access agreement in the South Tyne (Alston to Slaggyford) page is broken.

Re: RIVER SOUTH TYNE (Alston to Slaggyford)
Hi Ken
Anyway I've been out on the Tyne this morning which is at a lovely level and found the following,
Garrigill ford, this has been dug out and syphons with tons of rocks washed on the ford.
Slaggyford; the left arch and half the right are blocked by two straining tree trucks, this is a real serious hazard rather like a Nealy sketch of a classic strainer.

Did this section near end of November: Slaggyford bridge now has no tree. See post in Garrigill to Alston section for a different tree.

Re: RIVER SOUTH TYNE (Alston to Slaggyford)
Kirkhaugh Bridge (NY697496) has collapsed with trees piled up blocking all of river left and centre. Passable with care on river right at decent water levels but probable portage at low water. A complete mess!!

Re: RIVER SOUTH TYNE (Alston to Slaggyford)
Footbridge debris and trees have now been removed. Still the odd tree to look out for elsewhere on the river, though, but nothing that isn't obvious.
