Penrith today
Your pics show EXACTLY why I'll never, ever buy a house near a river, or on the same level/floodplain of the nearet river.

Ditto. Houses by a river used to be a real premium, now they must be watching to prices plummet, that's all over the UK, even places with no history of flooding.
I remember Louis Theroux doing a Paul Daniels program when the Thames came up to his door, so every cloud has a silver lining I suppose

The Police were saying not to use any bridges today either... which is a bit of a bind. I think that means I can go to Barrow, but that's about it!
So... another day at home then! Will go and check out Spark Bridge later on, see if the water has gone down and if their pumping station still works....

Water levels have dropped a huge amount, fields that were flooded yesterday can be seen again!

There was a land rover parked on the middle of it last night!

Keswick had around 60mm rain today between 09 am and 09 pm...that's less than half that Gloucester had in the floods there a couple of years ago.
Yes but parts of the catchment area have seen over 300mm in 24 hours (an English record) double the amount in Gloucester a couple of years ago.

Yeah Navies bridge is also gone the main CTC route. I lived in Workington for 25 years and have never seen anything even approaching this level of rain...

It's the speed/power of the water that's impressive - no opportunist canoeists out on these floodwaters - stand back in awe.
Our babysitters corsa was parked next to the Land Rover on that bridge!
crazylegs - good guess, but it's only about 100m downstream, and ironically, almost back in the owners garden.Posted 2 years ago # -

"Singletrack HQ was cut off from the rest of Yorkshire yesterday"
Surely it should be;
"Singletrack HQ surrounded by water, Yorkshire isolated"

The river Greta towards Crosthwaite Road from High Hill.
