Good friend of Unsponsored, Sam Ellis hit the River Swale a couple of days ago. Levels were good as were the lines.

The River Swale sits within Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is an awesome river in stunning surroundings. When it goes it has to be one of the best waterfall runs in the UK. So here we have it Sam Ellis – River Swale Dec 15. Lots of drops and a swim along the way.

Over the last few weeks the River Swale has burst it’s banks a few times. It rises and falls incredibly quickly as its catchment area is relatively confined. If you fancy giving this run a go I’d recommend hooking up with someone who has done the it before. You can find out more about this section of the River Swale here.
