Storm Arwen

We were meant to drive down to Gloucestershire for the British Night Orienteering Champs but Storm Arwen had other ideas. We had a power cut at 8PM the previous night and hoped it would be fixed by the morning - it wasn't. After having a cold breakfast we tried to set off but quickly realised we were stuck in both directions. 

We used handsaws initially but soon some residents with chainsaws turned up to help. After an hour or so the farmer appeared from the other end of the road and made quick progress with his chainsaw. It was only at 4PM that all the trees had been cleared but by then it was too late to travel South so since we still had no power we went to a friend's house to stay the night.

I made a collage to capture the carnage
