Nice vid. Is there a fish ladder at the side of that weir/waterfall? Only asking as it looks familiar from when I was out a few years ago with a stills camera

Absolutey right - the fish ladder was built sometime after 2001 when a local resident saw a hen salmon trying to reach her spawn.

Thank you Anton, it is a lovely place. There were deer nearby to higher up, but the slopes were leaf-laden and slippery, so i didnt go up them, as nice as it might have been.

I thought it was. I could have done with a drone when I last went, I got a wet boot taking this and it was a bit of a steep bank to get back up onto the path
