Most Upper Swale photos and videos show only the waterfalls and drops - this one aims to present an idea of the whole river including the bits that Nick Doll's guidebook suggest make a perfectly tame grade 3 paddle simply by portaging the big drops. I don't recommend the Upper Swale as a grade 3 paddle, though - a lot of the portages are quite difficult and your confidence can be seriously undermined by the thought of swimming towards some of the big drops !
