By my opinion only not more than 10.000 years were necessary to form the strid. This valley seems to me as if it had been shaped by the last iceage an the river's water just deepened it. Similar erosion-figures are to be found in Germany - but they are not as spectacular.
Again, as a local, I can confirm that this stretch of river is lethal. It has been measured by sonar as being at least 60 m deep just after the waterfall and still about 25 m deep much further down. The currents about 2 m below the surface are so powerful they drag you down. The river has gouged out so much of the rock that the banks that you stand on are all overhangs. Furthermore the water churns so much over the waterfall that it is full of air bubbles. This means buoyancy in the water is dramatically reduced. Basically, if you go in you are not coming out alive. The real danger, I guess, is when the river is not in flood it looks so placid on the surface.
I live here. Nobody who goes IN comes out alive. In places the strid is said to be 1000ft deep with canyons and caves. At the mouth the strid it said that the geography of the cave is a series of hour glass shapes on top of eachother. The Strid is part of the mighty river Wharfe. Although the wharfe never actually "flash floods" it is the faStest rising and falling river in the UK. The Strid is both deadly and beautiful. When i go with my children i never let go of their hands. The Strid is deadly.
Theres no proof for that its just a speculation. But its proofen that the shapes of the undersite of the river is deadly since you cant comeback out.@@blackluxurians6062 Some people are still in the water trapped forever going circle again and again
"Jack a Snacks" a UK youtuber recently did some video expeditions to the Strid clocked the depth via sonar to approximately 66m (217ft) which is still mind boggling deep, that part being right at the whirlpool at the bottom of the falls. The strid is geological anomaly and falling in would pretty much be 100% fatal but it has yet to be proven to reach further depths than 66m.
Possibility exists.Be cause technically NOBODY knows it’s true depth.So it’s ok to speculate.For all we know it could be 1000’s of feet.Look at the specs on underwater caves systems around the world.Some ARE a1000 ft deep documented!!So to say the strid is only 60meters deep is ignorant.
I visited The Strid on a school trip in 1968, it was certainly an impressive sight, The Strid is claimed by locals to have a 100% fatality record and it doesn't give up it's victims readily, most are trapped in the whirlpools and caverns hidden within it's depths. Those corpses that do escape The Strid are washed downstream as far as five miles from where they met their doom. I have walked across the stepping stones on the wide section of the Wharfe, by Bolton Abbey, we had a picnic on the grass. The Abbey and The Strid are certainly worth visiting.
Fantastic video. Thinking of the river being broad and calm looking, then turning on it's side, really made sense and is such a good explanation of why it's so dangerous, even the narrow parts that look both shallow and calm(ish).
Sensible chap. I have to say though on one damp breezy day I was out walking and a sudden gust of wind caught me unawares and before I knew it I had tumbled over. I was in Wales at the time but suffice to say the Strid nearly claimed another unsuspecting victim. Take care out there folks.
Thank you very much, I don't know to be honest. For some reason the TH-cam algorithm hasn't picked my videos up. Hopefully things will change eventually 🙏
I grew up nearby and I seem to remember hushed conversations between adults of folk who had thrown themselves into the Strid. Back then, suicide was a sort of taboo.
Beautiful drone footage. Best I've seen yet. Looking forward to seeing, someday, imaging of the topography below the surface and graphics describing it's effect on the current. Crazy stuff. Big 👍!
Back in the hot summer of 1976 most of the rivers in Yorkshire were reduced to a trickle for months due to the lack of rain and varius abstraction schemes to top up domestic water supplies. Just a shame nobody took the opportunity to survey this part of the river at that point as we could have had more of an insight into whats down between those stones. Going onto the more recent surveys it points to a submerged world where you would lose your life in a moment and due to its hidden depths and swirling currents needs to be given respect. When i lived in Yorkshire i have seen people jump across this maelstrom years ago fortunately they all made it but as we know not all were lucky.
It amazes how deep the potholes by the river are- to be so deep when they are dry most of the year. Also surprised by the lack of visitors, even in winter it is popular with the hardy rambler. Long ago I saw a teen jump over, but it was from the higher side when the rocks were dry. Trivia. There is a second strid on the river, a mile or so above Grassington Bridge called Ghaistrill's Strid. It cuts through Limestone so is wider.

Thank you Susan glad you liked it, please could I ask you to consider subscribing for lots more videos 😉 it would greatly help and would be much appreciated
I was below the strid and looking up saw two young boys in an inflatable dingy go over it. I climbed down to the edge. Luckily for them and me they popped up in the water and came to the edge. I reached down and pulled them out by one arm but they could have climbed out themselves. I looked around for their Parents but again they were lucky they weren't there.
We have a river like that in Vermont it's called Huntington George it claimed over 25 people a under tow current to like the Bolton strid they always have to remind people not to go swimming in the George because of it's danger and some people pay they ultimate price for not listening to the authority s
Instinctively, you know there is something 'wrong' when you look down into that black water. Evidently, by the waterfall it's 200+ feet deep - that's deeper than the upstream river is as wide. Also, any poor unfortunate who fell in by the waterfall would sink like a stone due to the water having almost zero buoyancy. Certain death.
I think you just said that the warning sign says danger 9m Or 30ft deep. Actually believe it or not in that narrow River the deepest spot is 65 m or about 210ft . About the size Of a 21 storey building deep. There is a young man that has a radar who always does a regular post on this dangerous River. When I watched the telemetry that the radar gave out , I had to do a triple take..
@@eastwoodsadventures I absolutely agree with you . When he gave out them figures in regards to the radar telemetry I thought it was Impossible. For a narrow section with no waterfall to be 210 ft doesn't make sense . Thank you !
@@eastwoodsadventuresi watched his videos and the claim is not really debunked. All he did was to use the equipment the way people suggested and the depth was still at least 50meters if i remember correctly. No one is 100 percent sure but thats the only thing here.
Could you inform me what information was missing from the information which was included in the video. The information will be helpful to make sure I include enough information in future videos. Oh and thanks for watching 👀
I Imagine someone thinking its nothing because it looks calm enough and swimmable then the second they go in and they're being sucked down by the insane force they hear the voice "GOTCHA B*TCH" on repeat as the perish to the deceptive river
Something that's dangerous and looks dangerous is giving out a warning. Something that's dangerous but looks innocuous adds to the danger by lulling people into a false sense of security.
Can you remove the background music as it adds no value, it ruins it and people watch something else.. Think about how many deaf viewers you have - what does the music do to the video for them??? What do you add music for? TH-cam people never answer this question. Fortunately there is a browser extension called SponsorBlock that mutes the music, but that also means taking your voice off in most parts of it.
Sorry if the music is not for you. Most people have enjoyed it. I always add subtitles for the deaf, and make sure it is available in different languages.

Inoffizielle Messungen gehen stellenweise von über 60m Tiefe aus!

Hey, if I accidentally drowned in a strid, do not burn up my body and throw the ashes in the strid.
Nice to hear commentary from Yorkshireman (I'm a bloody southerner) rather than all these other "experts" (except for Tom Scott).

Actually, the river is eight times as deep as is officially acknowledged.
I guess that has to be officially verified first.
Elsewhere there have been comments about how the turbulence causes air to be churned into the water thereby reducing buoyancy.
Thanks for pointing out my omission 😆 I thought I had mentioned that 😅
We used to play on lylos on the stid as kids 😂

No not 9 metres, in actual fact, 60 metres! Thats about 200 ft in old money...
This river can be fully charted to it's depths. Only thing lacking I funding for such a study. Richard Branson could easily fund it.

It certainly is. Thanks for watching
Dale means river valley so all the Yorkshire Dales are named for their rivers: Wharfedale, Airedale, Nidderdale, Swaledale for example.
Yes
Some things should be simply left alone!
Hitchcock would be. A more appropriate name! His classic film The 39 steps should have been shot there.
Not sure a submarine would fit though
