[anarchywrksbest]

Is it 9

 

[philippe]

8 catheracts

 

[Lucky]

Nope, nope!

Your are just guessing, doesn´t somebody really know this???

Well, let the guessing continue!

 

[Apollo]

Given Lucky's responses, it has to be either 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14. My guess is 11.

 

[Lovro]

Interesting, I did a search on Google and not one source I have read reported a number other than six, which has been said

OT, has anyone noticed the thread ID?

 

[Dell19]

I'll go for 12

 

[anarchywrksbest]

I am almost certain the answer is 6 which I said before. Are you sure you took into account the construction of the Aswan Dam which changed the course of the Nile

 

[Lucky]

Actually the answer I was looking for is 10!

There are 6 active cataracts today, the other 4 are buried under lake Nasser, due to the dam. They are still there and during dry periods, they still pose an obstacle to ships, hence the name cataracts.
Those 10 cataracts were totally "active" until the dam was built.
But I´ll give the answer to anarchywrksbest, since 6 would is not really wrong.

What is the highest waterfall in the UK and what river is it on?

 

[amadeus]

Eas Coul Aluin, and that would be on the Loch Glen Coul, uh...right?

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Wrong! Rmsharpe, try again.

 

[Lucky]

I think, rmsharpe is correct, only the spelling not totally right.

It should be Eas a'Chual Aluinn, the highest waterfall in Britain (200m) at Loch Glencoul.

[anarchywrksbest]

It is High Force but what river?

 

[ainwood]

Its near teeside, so I guess it is on the river Tees? (or is that Tee?? )

yup the Tees I think.

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Yes its the High Force on the River Tees. I'm going to give it to Ainwood because they got the final part of the question first.

 

[ainwood]

BFL can reply -> I had no idea that it was the highest waterfall in the UK, I just knew the river.
