I took a trip to do two fords on Gascoyne Lane this afternoon. I had been struggling to find these based on my poor local knowledge.
This is the first ford that I came to, very pretty with a good gravel bed and perhaps not that deep, maybe 18 inches or so. This YouTube video is of the same ford.
Then I drove on to the next bit of the River Frome here, this is less wide, but faster flowing and deeper, particularly near the bridge where it is more then 2 feet deep. I used a handy stick to dip it as it looked deeper than that and I didn’t want to get wet feet today.
This ford was good too, similar to the first one, both lacking a depth marker. I set my tripod up to record this crossing too, dashed back to the land rover and drove through went to stop the recording, but I hadn’t started it, so there as no need to do that. I did have the drive to do it again as I had an appointment to keep, so that was that. Sorry. This ford is here:
