Natural Spring (Water)- any nearby?
Does anyone know the location of natural springs within easy travelling distance of Ossy?

Re: Natural Spring (Water)- any nearby?
going back a few years but is there not a spring on Pendle Hill about halfway between the Wellsprings pub and the cattle grid on the other side from Sabden (on the downhill side ) not sure if it 'ran' all year or was seasonal

Thinking about it , it may be nearer to the cattle grid on the right hand side than the pub , but obviously just by the name (Wellsprings) there are springs up there ;) ;)

I have been researching natural water.
This chap has a lot of youtube clips and seems to know his water YouTube - Daniel-Vitalis-Spring-Water-Test I've got the wellies and the water carrier ready:) |
Re: Natural Spring (Water)- any nearby?
It would appear there are several natural springs in the park. If you want to drink it is up to you though.

I remember a spring near the top of the Coppice, on the Arden Hall side, at the side of one of the paths. It flowed even during summer and was so refreshing. Sorry that I cant't give more details but it is around 60 nyears ago that I last drank from there.

I have a supply of water purification drops which are safely used by 'rugged outdoor types' whilst on their treks. Where are the springs in Rhyddings Park? |

I would not recommend you drink any of the water though |
Re: Natural Spring (Water)- any nearby?
I would'nt trust the one up Pendle, for a start it smells like a rotten kipper, as of last week anyhoo while my dog was digging in it !!! And a few months back he was diggin in it again and within a few days he had a huge "puss" filled scab on the back of his neck !!! the dog doc said he had been bitten by something and I can only assume it cam from there...
On a positive though I always go up the Trough of Bowland these days just passed Dunsop Bridge, now i'm not sure why but i bottled some water from up there and 2 years on its still crystal clear and now they have "Bowland" water in shops !!! if only I would of been a bit quicker I could of been filthy rich !!! but hey ho, I would say this is much better for drinking than the skank we find round here....

I have found this info from Loughborough UNI http://www.lboro.ac.uk/well/resource...ng-springs.pdf If you look at Fig2, you can see that some springs rise into ponds. When we were discussing local brooks recently, I could see that both Tinker brook and Antley brook arise from such ponds. This is handy to know in case a widespread power failure causes a breakdown of municipal water supply. I was hoping that someone knew of a roadside spring which is regularly used by locals, or one that is less than 10 minutes walk from a road, and does not require the trespass on private land to get to it. I will not buy it ready bottled, because the plastic bottles ruin the value of it, and there is always the risk that it is actually tap water. At the moment, I am attempting to improve the quality of the water I drink by - Carbon filtration to remove chlorine Restoring mineral content by adding a soluable mineral tablet Passing it through a small device to spin a vortex to restore mollecular structure, and storing it in the fridge to retain the qualities I have added to it. This provides a better water than the recycled pee that comes from some taps, but it is inferior to what is available from a natural source. |
