	Dunbeath Water - Neil Gunn's Highland River
		In his 1937 novel, Highland River, Gunn's young hero, Kenn, makes a pilgrimage to the source of the Dunbeath Water and, in a way, to the source of himself and his cultural heritage.
		The river becomes a complex symbol: simultaneously a river of time, of space, of memory, of humanity and of consciousness as the literary critic Douglas Gifford has observed.
		To walk its full length to the river source - always called the Waterhead - was the ultimate adventure and the thought of it inhabited the mind with a peculiar strangeness.

		The River was filmed in fourteen states, as opposed to five in which footage was shot in the making of The Plow That Broke the Plains, with a considerably larger crew and the budget two and one half times the size of the first film.

		Lorentz suggested that misuse of the river and the river valley bore the responsibility of the horrible financial situation that many Americans found themselves in during the Depression.

	Jean Renoir
		Filmed in 1937 under the looming advent of World War II, La Grande Illusion serves as a haunting elegy for the tragedy of the First World War and a relevant cautionary tale on the immeasurable toll of war.
		Similar to the quaint dirt road in Satyajit Ray's The Apu Trilogy, the river provides a source of constancy and reassurance throughout the profound changes transpiring in Harriet's young life.

		River pigs held the most dangerous and unhealthy positions in the industry, but the pay was attractive - about $2 a day, nearly $1 more than lumberjacks.
		If rivers were low, logs could be stranded upstream far from sawmills and a winter's cut could be lost.

	Head of the River Race
		The Head of the River Race (HORR) is a processional race for eights rowed over the 4.5 mile championship course from Mortlake to Putney i.e.
		There was no race in 1937 (there was no suitable tide on a Saturday and no competitive sport took place on Sundays in those days) and none from 1940-45 inclusive.
		From 1979 onwards, due to the sheer volume of competitors and for reasons of safety on a relatively small area of river and riverside, the HORR Committee had at that point to impose a limit of 420 crews, which still exists today.

	Along Lysakerelva.
		It leaves the river bank a few metres from the Mill and crosses the river flats to the base of Lysejordet which during the ski season used to be lit up as a slalom slope and during summer is swathed in grassland flowers.
		This point lies directly across the river from the site of the Røa Mill which was built up from river level to the top of the gorge.
		This is the heart of an industrial complex from the late 1700's that evolved from an iron mill into a major saw mill in the 1860's and was the forerunner of the major timber mill (one of Norway's largest) which occupies the south west side of Bogstad Water.

		Both the Ohio and Tennessee rivers join the Mississippi in western Kentucky so no trip down the river corridor would be complete without a visit to the high bluffs of Columbus-Belmont State Park for a view of the mighty Mississippi as it rolls on to the Gulf of Mexico.

	Crossing the River Humber by Ferry
		This was to run from Hull to Hessle, tunnel under the river Humber to Barton and then continue on to the Ancholme Valley where it would meet up with the existing line.
		The most unusual suggestion must have been the one in 1944 to dam the river just past Hessle so the upper part could be used for industry and making a crossing point at the dam.
		Over the years there have been some successful and not so successful ideas of how to cross the river Humber, but by far the most successful (up to the opening of the Humber Bridge) must be the ferry.
