Weardale Cowshill & Lanehead

An interesting little flight in Weardale I've been waiting to do for a while.
The flight shows the flooded Quarry at Cowshill and further up the Wear valley to Lanehead with its wonderful five arched viaduct.
I dived Cowshill quarry years ago and interestingly the bottom lies deep below the level of the river Wear which runs right next to it.
Its a very dangerous quarry to dive as the visibility is always poor due to dumping. When diving through the gloom I discovered, nearly to my peril, the bottom was littered with rusty barbed wire fencing, old cars, vans and farming machinery, where entanglement was very difficult to avoid.
