I have removed the reference to the River Kent "dropping a thousand feet in only 25 miles it is the fastest flowing river in England" since:

the River Kent page describes it as being only 20 miles long
either:
- the river begins at Kentmere Reservoir, 291 metres/955 feet above sea level, in which case it can't drop over 1000 feet, and shouldn't be described as starting on the southern slopes of High Street
- or the river begins on the southern slopes of High Street, and thus drops over 1000 feet in the first kilometre
measuring the average speed of a river is very demanding, and I would be interested to see the comparative data with all the other rivers in England

The Kent is amongst the fastest flowing rivers in England, thats a fact. Follow this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/3808291.stm

"At Staveley, we have the River Kent, England's fastest-flowing river, it is water that deserves to be turned into whisky."

Disambiguation Link

Hi. I noticed that the disambiguation link to High Street (the urban phenomena) has been removed. Personally I think it should remain in place, especially as high street has a dab link back to the fell. Do any other people have specific opinions on this?Suicidalhamster 12:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the dab should have been retained. Unless it is restored or a convincing case otherwise is put forward here soon, then I will restore it. Viewfinder

The purpose of the disambiguation link is to guide the reader to the article they want when similar names prevent a simple redirect. If it seems likely that the reader would arrive by accident at High Street (Lake District) when in fact High Street is intended, then by all means replace it, but I don't see how this could be.

Aye, disambiguation links are only for internal navigation - nobody looking for High Street is likely to stumble across this page. Perhaps a "see also" link would be in order though? I'll add one. Grinner 11:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

While there is a trig point at the summit of Racecourse Hill, it isn't painted white at the moment. 79.70.105.194 (talk) 22:44, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
