BRIGG BLOG PLANS EXPEDITION UP THE ANCHOLME TO DISCOVER WATERFALL

Brigg Blog's trip to South Kelsey last week ended with a very pleasant drive home through some rural parts of West Lindsey we seldom visit before heading home along the A15 from Caenby Corner.
We crossed the River Ancholme at Bishopbridge, which most people regard as the waterway's starting point on its journey north through Brigg to South Ferriby and the mighty Humber.
But that's a popular misconception. For the Ancholme starts some miles south of Bishopbridge  in the parish of West Firsby and trickles through Saxby (not the All Saints variety) and Toft Newton before it even reaches Bishopbridge.
As nature is supplying us with an abundant supply of the wet stuff, now seems an ideal time to go in search of the evocative Snitterby Waterfall - camera in hand.
It's more a weir than a waterfall, and might actually be in Atterby.
But a picture or two of this interestingly named feature on the River Ancholme is a 'must have' for Brigg Blog's growing archive.
Ken Harrison might beat us to it, of course!
