Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Nice work Gleaners.

I don't care how far it drops, Angel Falls isn't in the same class.

Gullfoss is astonishing, and on a continental plate divide, you could boil yourself to death by stepping in a puddle nearby. Beats a damp patch on some rocks in South America anyday.

Maclennane, during that same trip we were at the plate divide in the spooky light of an early December morning. You can imagine how weird it looked.

Sigur Ros falls look a bit underwhelming, someone's probably been down them on a kayak.....can't say that about Angel.....

Glenners, I ran up a mountain and lay in a hot river with snow falling around me, with nary a soul to be seen. I'm sure there are better things to be done in the world, but I don't know what they are.

I was hoping for a Niagara, Gullfoss final as I have seen both of them in the real world. Yep, there is a real world.

Ankh's right - that sounds tremendous.

The only one on the start sheet I've seen ITRW is the Harvester at Rayleigh Weir :(
