I feel so sorry for the people up there, generations of families often living in the same village for all those years, and never having any floods, then bang, flood after flood.
One flood, I guess as a hundred year event, might increase your home insurance, as would any claim, but several so close together, makes these houses and possibly the region uninsurable from the flooding point of view.

Some times flood control measures can actually make things worse, nature built flood plains on rivers, so any excess water would spread out over a huge region, maybe only increasing the river level a few feet, but as soon as you build barriers, all the water has to go down stream, thus moving the problem elsewhere.
I think building on flood plains should be banned, and whoever signed off the approval, should compensate the home owners. They should then allow the floods plains to do what they would do naturally.
There is a bit of a clue in the name of the area... "The lake district" and it does normally rain a lot up there, but on the last few occassions, they got a lot more rain than normal. This will happen again and again.

Best wishes from us in the New Forest.
Thinking of the Cumbrians with more rain to come!

We are up in the Lakes, staying in our caravan... rain is bad, but the wind is scary... having to park the T2 as a wind break.

Many roads are closed either due to damaged bridges or landslides. Even on the open roads there are many places where there is no road surface left... glad our car is up to it.

I hope you have electric hook up.
When we used to camp, we had 2' long steel pegs that we used to tether the tent to, sometimes we crossed braced inside the frame tent.
On two or three occasions we were the only tent standing in a field full of campers. Best be prepared lol...
Hope you have a great Christmas.
Best regards,
Richard, (Rustic).

No snorkel on my truck:lol:lol going to my parents but they are in north Carlisle luckily it's quite high up & didn't flood like the rest of Carlisle but a couple of miles down the road was hit bad & they are still pumping water out:( & the weather forecast for the next couple of days is for very heavy rain over there just what they don't need:doh As long as the river Tyne doesn't burst it's banks again & floods the A69 closing it i'll get over ok
