Few Floods Today

HSimmo:
Went out for a drive while I had nothing better to do!

Aston Cantlow, depth gauge reading 4ft and pretty fast flowing. Needless to say, didn't get any closer to that one.


This is Hill Wooton, about 10 inches deep in front of the bridge. Over the other side a bit over 2ft deep i'd guess.
Made some beer money pulling an Alfa out of there last night. It rose significantly overnight and just as I decided against it this morning, a Peugeot 406 appeared from the other side, stopped, was spun round to face the other way and pushed to the side of the road by the flow! I'd imagine its still there.



Its a teaser because before the bridge looks fairly harmless, then when your on the bridge you can see the other side, which is about 1ft deeper and fast flowing. But you don't want to reverse back through the first bit...and there is no room to turn around.
Probably do-able in a Landy if you have some balls at its current depth.
Didn't get a picture of the other side because I didn't want to go through it and there was a police car blocking access from the other side.

And the Kenilworth Ford, which is about 8 inches deep and most people are going through it. Should get interesting later tonight though!

I spent this morning wading across Dartmoor (on foot, not in the Disco) - the weather was minging.  Then drove home on some very wet roads, trying to dry out the wet seats in the Disco.
