Watercrook Farm and the River Kent
The river is leaving the town of Kendal. The grass to the right is the site of a Roman fort, but only some of the contours are now visible.

Watercrook Roman fort (Alauna)
There is very little visible today of the fort http://www.archaeologyuk.org/lahs/Contrebis/25_6_Shotter.pdf Its rampart can be seen where the low drystone wall ascends a very slight rise.

Foam blow-hole by the River Kent
I was a bit perturbed to find this by the path. It was actively spewing out pink foam. I imagine it must be linked to the sewage works close by.

Scroggs Weir
The first obstacle on a descent of the River Kent from Kendal is Scroggs Weir. Even when there is enough water to make the rest of the river a pleasant trip, this weir is wide that the water is shallow and a slide down the face of the weir is a bumpy experience. The water is deepest at the far left, but awkward rocks lie in wait below.

Channel in Scroggs Weir, River Kent
There is little water in the river today and the flow over most of the weir is very shallow. Perhaps this channel was cut to help migrating salmon and trout pass upstream?
