4)2 EEPOET ON FIELD MEETINGS 



Tuesday morning was fine, but a high wind led us to seek 

 the lower and more sheltered part of the valley. Accordingly 

 we set off for High Force, which now, with the Tees in full 

 flood, presented a fine sight. The river was crossed a 

 short way below the Force at Holwick Head Bridge, and a 

 delightful walk enjoyed along the banks as far down as Wynch 

 Bridge, where the river was re-crossed and a return made to 

 High Force. Then lunch was taken, after which we drove 

 back to Middleton-in-Teesdale station, bringing a most enjoy- 

 able excursion to a close. -
