Spectacular moment Peak District waterfall flows BACKWARDS during storm

Helen Gant filmed the extraordinary footage of water cascading upwards at Kinder Downfall, Derbyshire, on Sunday, February 9.

Powerful winds caused the 98ft (30m) waterfall to blow in the opposite direction at the natural beauty spot on the edge of Kinder Scout mountain peak.

Helen uploaded the footage to her Facebook page with the caption "Not crowded up here today" where it has been shared and viewed hundreds of times.

Keen hiker Helen said: "I've been scrambling up hills and mountains since I was little.

"Watching the downfall blowing up was pretty exhilarating.

“I've been up there quite a few times when it's been blowing uphill but this was the most spectacular so far."

When frozen in harsh winters, the downfall is also a venue for daredevils to take part in ice-climbing.

The natural wonder is part of the famous Pennine Way trail, which begins in the Peak District and stretches for 268 miles all the way to Kirk Yetholm at the Scottish Borders.

The country is facing the second weekend of weather disruption as Storm Dennis batters much of the country with wind and heavy rain today, February 15, and tomorrow.

Severe weather warnings have been issued and in places such as Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, the army is assisting with the recovery effort following flooding last weekend and to help prepare for Storm Dennis.
