I like fords on a trike and have several near me in the Peak District to play in.
Whilst fun they are dangerous.
Recent flood water concealed big holes . A car driver was swept away and drowned in a local Derbyshire ford. The car was not found for some time, .Another incident in floods drowned a car passenger.
Most Peak District fords are mossy, my nearest is approached from Moss Lane which gives a clue..
Debris underwater dislodged by floods adds to hazards.
Bike crash in ford
Re: Bike crash in ford
Something like this @2:36. It is Chris Akrigg doing the stepping stones at Bolton Abbey, Danny appears later doing other stuff.

If Danny did the backwards front wheel downhill in a Grand Tour he'd so freak the peloton that would probably win!
Re: Bike crash in ford
Do you mean this one? Described here- http://www.wetroads.co.uk/northyorkshire.htm under "Nappa". (Note to self, I need to update the entry for the ford at the end of my road.)
Re: Bike crash in ford
It's the one above that near Swinden. It's not marked as a ford on that map but the bridleway clearly shown on both sides and the lane continuing up to Swinden.
I'll check it out on some older maps.
