The Washburn is a dam-release river in a narrow
wooded valley very like Tryweryn in character.
The BCU Yorks Region management committee have put in much work
and cash and re-designed the river bed to give many more interesting
features. In paricular, the big weir half way down the 2.4km
length has been made into a superb play spot and recently hosted
the Freestyle finals of a round of the Peak Challenge. The verdict
was 'Best in Britain' - a mini-Gratz!

Yorks Region website for release details.
