Flood - wot flood?
The river level has dropped right back down again and I (David) am able to walk back home from town along the river once more.
The Council have sent out a team of chaps to jetwash the footpaths (both lower and upper), which is a good job as I am not too sure what manner of glim I am walking in at the mo'.
Best not to think about it, eh?
Note the light coloured bands around the tree trunks to the right. They indicate how high the river was at its '14 peak.
Put it this way: if I had stood here a couple of weeks or so ago the water would have been above my knees.
No doubt this trees' roots were already a bit dodgy but the fact it's fallen shows the power of the river in flood.
The flood was right across the racecourse and whole sections of the plastic course marker posts were uprooted and deposited on the allotments on its far side.
