Encountered a burst River Leam on the way back from Cubbington this morning...a lot of stranded cars before and after the bridge. A Shogun was wondering whether to chance it or not, so while he was pontificating, I went round him, into 1st, revs at 2k, and pulled all the way through.

I have been through a very muddy flood this morning too. Not on the scale of what you posted about but enough to make normal cars go half on the kerb at the shallower end to avoid the worst of it. The water was so muddy it was actually black.

Living in Rugby I know the area you mean Badger - duly noted, as I'm on the verge of getting my first FL2, fingers crossed! |

Hope you waders are all going to get your starter motors checked out after your wading as they are not sealed. I know Alex P says they are mounted above wading depth but can tell you that water still gets to them and several months later they fail.
