The Black Hole

Black Hole, Muggleswick Gorge

This used to be a favourite swimming pool. Called the Black Hole because of its depth, it is not uniformly so. I saw a boy dive from the crag in the picture, he hit the river bottom before his legs were submerged. Fortunately he was uninjured and we all got a laugh out of it.
