Camel Green this morning, awash, oak and beech trunks rise from the expansive waters. And this is before storm Dennis! When you see these forest streams flowing normally, or through the dappled summer stands, it's easy to think of them as tame. I've seen what they look like unleashed, and I'll tell you they can be scary. Jumbled debris, deep deep corners, and a fast bore turn them into genuine threats, the main channels will easily rise a meter in places. By this stage on Highland Water we are well down stream the catchment area is massive and the waters here can take on a menacing aspect, properly dangerous. We're walking here today, though we wont walk here tomorrow.
