Mistake in the wording.[edit]

At the moment, the text says this:

Nearly 22 miles (35 km) onward, measured in a straight line, but 4 miles (6.4 km) or upwards along its bed, Carmel Water joins it on the right bank; and 2½ miles (4 km) farther on, it receives the Annick Water, again on the right bank.

This can't be right. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, but 22 miles is much longer than 4 miles. As 22 miles can't be right I will removed it altogether. Michael Glass (talk) 22:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
