Three fords to negotiate on my way up to the Otterburn Ranges in Northumberland for an overnight bivvy  last week.  The first of the bunch was oddly dry given the weather over the preceding days.

Approaching Godlingston Heath, near Studland, after heavy rain. I didn't go through.

That's because it's an Irish bridge, rather than a ford

I know, but I didn't think it was worth starting an Irish Bridges thread.

Same place as above, Thursday 11th May.

Yes, I know it's portrait but that, for some reason, is what worked best with my phone.

Duxford Ford in the Chimney meadows BBOWT nature reserve.  Using the bridleway and approaching from the north, going towards Hinton Waldrist...  Depth was 35-40cm, slightly higher than expected, but waded through.  In the vid you can see where I pick the bike up, to save submerging the BB...  :)

That's a good one. Looks like it would be a bit of a pain to ride even if totally dry, due to the way the paving stones are arranged.

This one on the river Aln west of Alnwick was suprisingly deep, fortunatly we were both shod with SPD sandals.
