SK8278 : Towards Cottam power station

taken 12 years ago, near to Torksey, Lincolnshire, England

Towards Cottam power station
Towards Cottam power station
Rounding the first bend after leaving Torksey, we get the first view of the power station in SK8179 . We are setting off upstream on the tidal river, but are still fighting some of the ebb here. The low water on the right quickly reminds us of our matra, "don't cut corners, shoals on the inside of bends".
