Length

[edit]

From St Helen's Well at Newbiggin-on-Lune (NY 7079 0527) to the county limit where the Lune enters the Irish Sea at the low water mark (SD 360538) is (by my own painstaking measurements using the online tool at the wheresthepath website) 93.9km / 58.4 miles whereas the length from the head of the longest tributary (Bowderdale Beck at SD 6852 9817) to that same point is 99.5km / 61.8 miles. If measured from the top of Dale Gill/Dry Beck (NY 7010 0120) which joins the Lune immediately downstream of Newbiggin then the length is 98.3km / 61.1 miles. I'd be confident of the accuracy of these figures to within 1%. An objection might be made to St Helen's Well being the source as there is a gap of 0.5km where there is no surface connection between it and the next watercourse mapped. Of course all of this is original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what accurate figures may look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 18:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
