Sigur nu pare un ucigas.
Bolton Strid are tot farmecul unui parau pitoresc de tara, care sparg printre pietre acoperite cu muschi intr-o intindere impadurita din Yorkshire, Anglia. Malurile sale sunt la doar aproximativ sase metri distanta.
Dar aceasta intindere speciala de apa este, de asemenea, extrem de periculoasa, unii localnici sustinand o rata de fatalitate de 100% pentru oricine suficient de nefericit sa intre in timp ce incearca sa sara peste ea.
Semnele de-a lungul bancii avertizeaza: „Stridul este periculos si si-a pierdut viata in trecut. Va rugam sa stati bine in spate si sa aveti grija de pietrele alunecoase. ”
O mare parte din pericol consta in cat de repede se ingusteaza fluxul.
Strid este un segment al raului Wharfe, care trece pe langa ruinele linistite ale Bolton Priory, o manastire veche. La cativa metri in amonte de Strid, raul este superficial si lat, la aproximativ 30 de picioare de la mal la mal. forums.m4fg.at Dar apoi terenul stoarce raul atat de strans incat este efectiv invartit pe o parte. In loc sa fie larga si superficiala, devine ingusta si adanca, o pana puternica de apa care curge printr-o crevasa plina de pesteri subacvatice si surplombe. Acesta este Bolton Strid.

From above, the Strid appears beautiful and deceptively harmless. But jump or fall in, and you could quickly find yourself sucked into an underwater crevice or pummeled against the rocky cleft walls by the current.
People call it the deadliest stream in the world, though no one keeps an official death toll for the Strid. The best known case involved a honeymooning couple who disappeared in 1998 and were believed to have drowned when rains rapidly swelled the River Wharfe.
The treacherous stream has flowed into literature. gearuncensored.com William Wordsworth wrote about the Strid in the early 1800s in his poem “The Force of Prayer,” describing a young boy who tries and fails to leap the stream.
The spot is also immortalized in the short story “The Striding Place” by the American author Gertrude Atherton in 1896. “There was no lonelier spot in England,” she writes, “nor one which had the right to claim so many ghosts, if ghosts there were.”
There is even an Old English saying that warns of the deceptive danger of the stream, compared with another Yorkshire river, the Aire:
Wharfe is clear, and Aire is lithe;
Where Aire kills one, Wharfe kills five.
