Mysterious Bolton Strid: stream that swallows people

In the English Yorkshire is one of the most dangerous pitfalls of nature. This is a small harmless-looking mountain stream width in some meters, known as the Bolton Strid. But under the water lurks a deep abyss, able to delay anyone who gets it They say that nobody fell into the water Stride did not survive and their bodies were never found.

To understand how small mountain stream, can be such a dangerous reputation, it's worth a walk upstream. A few kilometers above this “small” stream is expanded to the significant rivers in a few tens of meters. Is the river Wharf flowing through the territory of Yorkshire. When it comes to Bolton Abbey, then rests in the narrow gap, causing water to gain a huge speed and depth. The narrow gap at the Strid is only an illusion. Actually at the bottom hides a network of caves and tunnels that hide the rest of the river water. Nobody really knows how deep goes the stream Strid.

On the surface Strid seems very modest and narrow, because many foolish visitors in the past I thought I could easily jump over or just jump over the rocks. All the trees of the field weigh warning signs, causing many genuine surprise. Is haunting a lot of stories about people who disappeared in underwater caves and destroyed the tunnels.
