It was about 6 inches over the bonnet.

Mick I saw that on the BBC website, but didn't go over

Richard, I went through Friday in my Vitara but I must admit I was getting a bit worried when it started lapping over the bonnet, only just made it through.

Well, this was the River Aire off the Lock Lane bridge at about 14:00 this afternoon
To my shame I don't possess a 'before' image :oops:
I had to find one, so here's a 1960 postcard of the weir behind Allinsons Flour Mill
muckmoses:
We've been done tonight after taking 2&half hours to get home.
Barnsdale road this is at least 2 ft deeper than last Friday:
On the road from Fairburn to Ledsham we found a funny Irish guy in 4ft of water. I waded in as at the time I had no idea just how deep it was.
I persuaded him that we couldn't get the Mitsubishi out that night.
When I walked in my Land Rover was NOT in the water when we returned it had reached the back wheels and my riggers were starting to get wet.
We brought him home, warmed him up and gave him a cuppa.
Steven:
Well, again, nothing which we have experienced! :(
Mind you it has been heavey so might pop up denby or bakewell for some laning.
