Does anyone know if this spring is still flowing? I'll need a fair bit of water this weekend but I don't fancy carrying it all up the band so I'd normally fill up at the spring, but with all this dry weather I don't know if it will be flowing. Has anyone seen it recently?

Thanks

An older data point than you might like, but I was there on the 28th may, and it showed no sign of drying up soon. I expect you'll be fine, as long as you're patient.

I've never known it ever to dry up but it can be quite slow - at least the outlook is good

In reply to sporky: did my ML with Chris Ensol who said he’s never ever seen it dry up!

Lack of water is unlikely to be an issue given the forecast of torrential thundery downpours!

Thanks everyone. It was there, but not much flow! Not sure how much more of a drought it can take. Langdale looked very dry. The river was fully dried up downstream of the NT campsite and it's only early June.
