A walk to and around Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Sunday, 24th January, 2021.

 

Let it snow.....
......let it snow......
.....let it snow.
Out in the wilds of Worcester.
Socially distanced and wearing a mask.
A quiet corner of Gheluvelt Park.
The Park from Bourne Lane......
.......and from Waterworks Road.
Waterworks Road I.
Waterworks Road II.
Watching over us.
A 'still' photo doesn't show that the water on the racecourse 
is moving south just as fast as the water in the river.
We can't recall ever seeing water over the path to 
The Wall before.
The river and brook are as one.
The river is now up to our ankles.
Next stop Upton.
Then Tewksbury.
Then Gloucester.
Then The Bristol Channel.
And so on and so forth.

Afternoon walk to The Moors and back via the river, Worcester: Saturday, 23rd January, 2021.

No way over Tower Bridge.
River's still rising then.
As I say, can't get over here, Vic.
Gheluvelt Park war memorial.

Pitchcroft Lane.
Geese and ducks have lost their meadow again.

Higher flood
(see previous blog).
Over-optimistic
(see previous blog).

Walk to The Moors via the Doc's and the river, Worcester: Friday, 22nd January, 2021.


The Brook from Tower Bridge.
More water in the park.
River Severn and Gheluvelt Park as one.
Glorious day downstream.
Our feet are just above the level of the river.
Weird.
Waterworks Road.
Worcester Racecourse?
Nope, not today.
Repeat delivered.
Under water again.

Optimistic.
Tidal waters.
My back's killing me, Vic, doing this.
As we have said, Worcester doesn't have a racecourse.
No caption required.
Nope, no racecourse here.
Geese are put out by the flooding of their meadow.
Gheluvelt Park under water.
