Where is scaleber force

I told Serena we were approaching a major wow. As we neared the copse the noise became clear, a surging noise hidden in the trees. Once at the copse Serena saw the cause. She was instantly captivated as she approached the top of the waterfall. So was I. We were now at Catrigg Force, one of my favourite Dales waterfalls.

Standing above the waterfall is great, standing below it is something else altogether. I led Serena down through a gate into the lower copse and down some steps. Serena was struck dumb by the calm grandeur inside the green leaf canopy.

She was enthralled more as she made her way down to the dropping pool beside the sheer vertical gritstone rock face which had been hewn out over the years by Catrigg Force, or Catrigg Foss as previously called. Inside the chasm and down by the waterfall was awesome the first time I came here.

I could sense it was for Serena too and I knew she had just taken in a wow. We stayed a while looking around the Catrigg cathedral for that it is, a place of awe. A damn that we had to leave. Catrigg Force captivates and encloses you in. That is clear for having climbed out and back onto the fell I felt a heightened feeling of openness.

I always feel it after such breathtaking events. We had not been long back into the open when Serena commented how the mood of the open fells always entranced her.

The early sun we had accompanying us was now in and the weather was deciding what to do. Rain or not? We were not sure. Oh well. From Catrigg Force we walked back across the field to Upper Winskill and a bridleway where Serena took a map bearing and correctly called south which we took past our previously encountered erratic and to a junction on the bridleway.
