Yeah, it's just the same in Leicester. I can't see it going down here overnight but we'll see.

I'll keep an eye on it overnight as where I live is fairly close to Blackpatch.

That's a better idea as I'm fifty miles / 90 mins away. You can see it easily where it goes under Woodburn Road.

I'm not right next to, but not too far away. I'll take a look tonight if I get a chance but can't promise I will. Whatever, I'll let you know

Heading out in the next half an hour to check water levels. Weather at the moment is dry. I’ll post my findings, fingers crossed!

Ok, just heading back from Hockley Brook now. River is moving fairly quickly but I think it still could be doable if we avoid the middle being the deepest, been dry all evening though. Below are two pictures I took not that it shows much, also got a video of the river speed but obviously I can’t upload.

Given how slippery these ones are, avoiding the middle isn't as easy as it sounds. I'm going to give it a miss today. Let's have another look in a few weeks time.

I’d still think it’s possible though, just may be ankle depth, alright if you’re in wellies? Otherwise, anything else we can hit today?
