Flooded River Tees

We set off before lunch to drive across to the Lake District. Before long we found we were at the back of a very long queue of traffic. This was the cause as the River had flooded and was right across the road. By the time I had got the phone out to take the picture we were actually through the worst of it.

We had lunch at one of the farm shops and our timing was just right to get to LPH by 3.30. Just after Penrith the A66 west was closed due to flooding etc and we had to make a 40 mile detour via Wigton and Cockermouth.

At least I can now relax and enjoy the rest of the week with 6 other blippers and 2 non-blippers.
