Virtual Cruise Frodingham Beck |
|
Photographs of a Cruise up Frodingham Beck on 4th June 2000 after the heavy rain fall over Yorkshire which caused flooding in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. The Navigation survived the floods; note the high water levels and the overcast sky. Frodingham Beck is navigable up to Frodingham Landing, boats above 50 foot in length should contact Bethell's Bridge Boat Club before cruising this section. |
