AdvertisementThere is no bad weather, they say, just bad clothes. So I was lucky that my raincoats kept me dry as I walked through a storm in the beautiful Upper Teesdale countryside.
Whirlwinds of mist clung to the hills and large drops of rain slapped me in the face. But in this picturesque corner of County Durham, there were several upsides to this.
One was that the High Force Waterfall, ten minutes walk walk from my hotel, was in full flow.
It was so powerful, in fact, that it had split in two during the night, with the River Tees thundering 70 feet left and right over the edge to create a shaking force that shook the soles of my boots.
