Gastack Beck to Dee Confluence

3km of grade 3 (4+) on the river Deepdale Beck (Dentdale Dee)

Fast flowing grade 1 and 2 leads to a bridge, which may require ducking under. A small bedrock fall follows shortly, and leads into boulder rapids in the trees. From here the amount of bedrock picks up, and shallow slides as well as boulder rapids make up the run. Further downstream the river enters a wooded area, and the hardest rapid on the run in a mini gorge. Inspection sensible, due to trees and undercuts. After this, the river continues on downstream through a series of mini bedrock gorges, with nice class 3 rapids, until the take out. Alternatively, carry on into the Dee.
