its not normally a ford!
i been down there again today and now the road is open but with about a foot of water at the deepest part.
its no where near the river and is only flooded cos the drains are blocked, so theres no flow.
it could only have been 2ft deep yesterday when i got turned away.

I notice some people in the media have been 'moaning' about the wash from bow waves of 4x4's and trucks ploughing through the waters. Please be aware of the havoc your bow wave might be wreaking when making your way through water. In particular be aware of swamping smaller vechicles or sending waves of water at peoples houses. We 4x4 owners have a poor image all ready- please don't make it worse by acting irresponsibly.

A couple of days ago I was talking to the crew in the Ambulance featured in this article, they'd been 'blued' (called out) to the south of the City & made the decision to commit, as the alternative routes added anything between 15 & 45minutes dependant on the other traffic.
'XXX' who was driving said they started to get worried when papers were water appeared in the door-pockets :lol:
I've also been down Newton Lane at Ledston today (mentioned previously in this thread by me) & the water levels don't appear to have changed at all.
The bridge that I took the image of the piling platform from (also earlier in this thread) has had the civil engineers inspecting it over the past couple of days for, presumably(?) flood damage.
