You should visit the River Ribble in Lancashire ????????
Living in Preston in Northern England, I'm well aware that the River Ribble is our closest river, but I've never really paid much attention to this river, so I thought I'd find out some of the history of the River Ribble and go for a walk down it on the way to Brockholes Nature Reserve, just outside of Preston.
Turns out I walked the wrong way, downstream, getting me about an hour out of the way, but it turned into a nice walk besides the River Ribble.
The River Ribble was at one point, the most northern point in the ancient kingdom of Mercia! Now how's that for a piece of Ribble History?!
Whilst on the walk, I went to Brockholes Nature Reserve, but I took so much footage whilst I was there that I've turned that into a separate video, which you should also check out!
If you're into exploring rivers, then look no further than the River Ribble in Preston. You should take some time to walk around the Guild Wheel and find your way to Brockholes Nature Reserve at the end of your walk. The River Ribble is a nice river walk.
The River Ribble is a prime location for river fishing, which you can see throughout this river walk video. I also give a short list of different types of fish that you can find in the River Ribble, including Atlantic salmon, an endangered species of fish, which can be found in this particular river.

Preston to Tarleton via the Ribble Link, River Ribble and Douglas August 23rd 2013
This is the trip we made on Lord Toulouse from Preston on the Lancaster Canal to Tarleton on the Rufford branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. We made the original journey from Tarleton to Preston on August 7th which can be seen here
This video concentrates more on the link end and shows just how narrow and shallow it can be. That said it was a wonderful trip, not scary at all, and one every narrowboat owner should complete in his/her boating life.

The Issue
Sellafield Nuclear Plant is located on the Northwest Coast of England on the Irish Sea. It is a government owned facility that produces about one-fourth of the United Kingdom's energy. Nuclear waste from this facility had turned the Irish sea into one of the most radioactive bodies of water in the world. This pollution threatens the health of the British people as well as inhabitants of Ireland across the Irish Sea. This is a controversial issue because of the environmental degradation of the Irish Sea. This case raises the question of how a country can try to protect it self against invading polution from a neighboring state.

CHILDREN AT RISK?
By John Lawrence
Industrial Correspondent
Children playing on the banks of the River Ribble could be risking radioactive contamination from a nearby nuclear plant.

A report by the pressure group Friends of the Earth claims youngsters playing along the river in the Penwortham area near Preston could be receiving large doses of radiation from mudflats contaminated by discharges from the British Nuclear Fuels Springfields plant, it was revealed today.
Lancashire County Council leader Louise Ellman immediately called for an in-depth investigation from the independent radiation monitoring group Radmil.
Frightened residents living within yards of the River Ribble today said they feared for their health.
The worried locals called for a wide ranging investigation into the damning report.
The shock survey coincides with a hard hitting Granada TV investigation due to be screened tonight into radiation safety standards at the sprawling Salwick site, which features ex worker Joe McMaster, 69 formerly of Greystock Avenue, Fulwood, Preston and his wife Stella.
Mr McMaster, who worked for 31 years as an analytical chemist, claims that three of his daughters died between 1958 and 1987 from illnesses linked to fatal doses of radiation.
Friends of the Earth today said tests carried out on the stretch of the Ribble through Preston revealed pollution levels higher than those published by BNFL and the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food.
Researchers monitored radiation levels at four points upstream of the Springfields discharge pipe – the cadet hut at Penwortham bridge, Broadgate, Lower Penwortham park and the mainline railway bridge.
Doses of radioactive thorium particles were found to be up to six times higher than normal.
Radiation campaigner Dr Patrick Green said the muddy river bed and bank were popular with children, especially at low tide during the summer months when the mud dried out.
The report says a child would have to spend on average around 80 minutes a day over a year on the river bank to receive the maximum tolerable radiation dose of 100 units.
BNFL information officer Peter Osborne said the pressure group’s findings did not stand up to close scrutiny and denied that youngsters were in danger.
Mr Osborne said: “Any doses that children would be receiving from playing in those areas would only be one per cent of any radiation that could be regarded as remotely dangerous. To be honest, the Ribble is a pretty inhospitable play area for other reasons and not many children play there anyway.”
A MAFF spokesman said government scientists always carried out tests in areas that would provide the highest doses and published their results on a regular basis. Local residents said if the alleged nuclear waste dumping was true it should be stopped immediately. Mrs Susan Hunter of Riverside Road said: “If its true, it is absolutely outrageous and everyone round here will naturally be very concerned.”
Graham Hunter of Stonefield, Penwortham, said BNFL had to “clean up their act” if the Friends of the Earth report was true.
Pg 9
BNFL’s Sellafield release up to 90% of the world’s artificial aerial radioactivity, public access to monitoring records is non-existent. Greenpeace’s air samples, collected at an altitude of 180-360 feet and up to half a mile from the plant's main discharge stacks, were analyzed by the University of Gent, Belgium. The radioactive noble gas krypton-85 was found at levels up to 90,000 Bq per cubic meter, as compared to the world average radioactivity in air of between 1-2 Bq per cubic meter. Computer dispersion models show how the discharged radioactivity spreads over large parts of Europe, covering France, UK, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany with radioactivity levels sometimes up to 100 times natural background, and eventually dispersing with the wind around the Earth.

002 - Across the River Ribble
So we've had the boat 4 days and are setting off across the River Ribble in the north-west of England.
Too novice to know how scared we should have been but helped by many to get through the adventure safely.
In total it took about 6 hours, 2 hours down the link, nearly 2 hours along the Ribble and a further couple of hours down the Douglas and safely onto the canal again - phew!
Dave says... It was emotional

River Ribble tidal bore at Preston 15 June 2018
Filmed near Preston town centre between the Liverpool Road bridge and the A59 bridge. A great viewing location is from the footpath by the Preston Sea Cadets centre. A not so good spring tide was due, and under normal circumstances not much of a bore would be produced at this location, if any at all. However the river level was very low following a long period with little rain, and there was a brisk south westerly wind pushing the tide in.
The tide can be seen arriving with no bore. As the river passes under the A59 bridge it bends and widens, and a well formed, if smallish, bore was produced. The bore travelled under the Liverpool Road bridge, but then fizzled out to nothing. The bore is more impressive further down the estuary, but this is a much more convenient viewing location.
Date filmed: 15th June 2018
Expected high tide at Blackpool: 9.1m @ 12:39
The bore passed the Preston Sea Cadet centre at 11:22
All times BST (GMT+1)

River Ribble tidal bore – end of the line 2018
The Ribble bore starts somewhere out past Warton Bank. It travels all the way to the old ‘pack horse’ type footbridge between Broadgate and Riverside Road in Preston. The bore becomes undular and hardly noticeable as it passes Preston Docks, where the river runs deep. The now weakened bore meets the rapids by the footbridge. The sharp gradient and turbulence of the river here prevents the bore from travelling any further. The tide continues to come in though and the river rises for a good few miles past this point.
The video was filmed from Leyland Road west of the old footbridge. It was a very grey, rainy day, so the colour looks a bit washed out.
Date filmed: 14th August 2018
Expected high tide at Blackpool: 9.1m @ 14:00
The bore passed the filming location at 12:41 (1 hour 19 mins before HT at Blackpool)
All times BST (GMT+1). If you are interested in other tidal bores of North West England, search YouTube for : tidal bore rob bridges
