observation:-  
The stepping stones apeear to very large and 'purpose laid', but. They are not shown on the OS County series maps, 1890s; but are the crossing place is clearly marked as a footpath on the OS Explorer map. Anyone guided here by the modern map is going to be disappointed or swept away.
After the initial series of great stones on the Tebay side there is a channel of deep fast water, and this is after a fairly dry spell, the river was not 'up'.
