Apart from the occasional short boulder garden and one cattle fence (just round a blind bend), this stretch is fairly typical of the run down Borrow Beck from the put-in at High Borrow Bridge by the A6 (perhaps easiest at the stepping stones where Image). Despite the low cloud and persistent drizzle, there's not really enough water to paddle this section today, but a kilometre and a quarter downstream from here the river starts to cut down a little, making the channel narrower, and the paddling more interesting and there's just about enough to bounce down the bottom 2½ kilometres.
