We managed to get to the marina this morning and the environmental agency said the level of water had dropped a metre overnight and only one narrow boat sunk, in the picture you can still see some flooding left on the marina island. The sluice gate you can see the rise in level of water rushing through.

Thanks Clive, do you know why are they're called "The river valley hills" Ahhh, a wee bit confusing. The Oldman River Valley is not a subtle, wide valley. The bulk of the valley was created during the rapid melting of the last Great Ice Age ice sheet mainly between about 10,000 and 13,000 years ago. (The amount and speed of melting [not caused by you car] over a few centuries was unimaginable.) These valleys on the plains are called glacial outwash valleys. The walls can be quite steep. So the side walls are what I meant by valley hills. October, 2022
