Walking into Worcester today but it doesn't look like we'll be able to go along Pitchcroft as the river has flooded to the west of Waterworks Walk……………..
as well as to the east. Never a good sign.
Sure enough, Waterworks Road is flooded and the racecourse is under water.
Sturdy wellygogs required.
Perhaps we can walk to town along the 'allotments side' of the racecourse?
Nope, that's flooded an' all.
Plan C it is then.
Would you park your car here?
The Racecourse is totally under water.
How much is river water and how much is rain water on top of a high water table is anyone's guess.
We are now in the Cathedral.
A little respite and a chance to remember those gone but not forgotten.
Checking out the display of Christmas trees.
View of the river and flooded land to the west of the river from College Green.
The steps from College Green to the riverside walk is under water.
The wall where particularly high floods are honoured with a brick is on the left through the gate.
A few feet to go yet, then.
View back to St Andrews church from the Cathedral grounds.
Kleve Walk, at the foot of this wall, is submerged.
The water is not right up to the top of the arches under Bridge Street bridge yet.
Heading back into town now and, hurrah! It looks like the awful '60's shopping precinct is finally getting a makeover or, better still, perhaps they are going to knock it down altogether?
One can only hope.
Couple of shops to visit before a meal at Elgar's and then the walk home.
6.5 miles in total according to David's Fit Bit wot Vicky bought him for Christmas.
No wonder we are both knackered by the time we get back home.
