the weather?

Rain or sunshine, I intend to have a whale of a time! Been looking forward to this for far too long. Got my bike interim serviced yesterday, so hopefully she should be as right as rain (excuse the pun) Even managed to get a tailpack for £20 (originally £79.99). Ex display model, but who cares.

Rain rain go away
Come again next week end
Coz I'll be stuck at work then

Saaaammmmmmme

I've just checked with the environment agency, and apparently Autwick is at VERY low chance of flooding. Kendal would flood first, and by that time (from my peek at the maps) Doncaster would be the modern day Atlantis!

So looks like we're sorted for flooding (but I haven't checked elevation/hills on/near the campsite). Couldn't give a monkies about rain.

EDIT: Just checked elevation/hills thanks to an OS map. Hill off to the West of Austwick, but we are in the valley bottom. Still, it's only a brook.

Doesn't some of you think our field could of been flooded by now? I have seen the sounth yorkshire pictures on the news, and to be honest its doesnt look promising.

Has anyone checked with the owner that its still ok?

See the post above.

It'd take approx 15m of standing water to flood the field. However, it could well be waterlogged due to sheer volume of water, but that's an outside chance IMO.

So, do I pack my canoe?

Wet suit is deffo an possibility!!

is it possible for somone to check the state of the field?

Dreams of setting up tent on wet field lol

Nah, water will run off the hills via Settle or Clapham bypassing us. Thats even if there's more rain, which isn't guranteed.

Worst case scenario, using the A65 could be hairy. But folks can still get home via Lancaster & on to the M6.

Folks from the south, just watch the news re the M1, which at the moment is closed by Sheffield because of flood risk. Should easily be open by the weekend though if there's not much rain.

EDIT: I don't mind calling the campsite tomorrow to enquire about the state of the field, but personally I think it's a bit pointless. If folks have got concerns, I'll call them tomorrow though. End of the day, it'll show the people that run the campsite that we're an organised group. HAHA!!
