River Don
I followed the riverbank path to this point, only to find that it had collapsed into the river, probably during last winter's spate. This is the view downstream.

River Bank Erosion
The path along the river bank has been partly demolished by the river, presumably during last winter's spate. This is a bit of river bank that has collapsed and will no doubt soon be removed altogether.
