[TONUP]

Wednesday evening on the way home there were a number of cars blocking my route home who had become stranded in flood water, they hadn't anticipated the depth of.

One of them (a Clio driver) had been quoted £85.00 by the AA to get him out, and then £5.00 a mile to tow him to his destination, or garage!

I dont have a snorkel, so I bottled it and turned around. Its embarrasing getting stuck in a hatchback... even worse in a 4 X 4 though.

If this is a sign of the type of weather we can now expect, I think a snorkel may be an essential item. I think the T2 can only wade up to 500mm withouth one.

Aye freaky innit if it had been a landie then you'd still be there with the doors open draining the puddle out :lol
The downside is though you start to float at about that depth mate and suddenly you have no traction. Have to drive paddle steamer stylee then :augie

yes mate, I've seen a vid i think for safari snorkels where they drive in to some lake/river in a white lwb and it just floats off and starts spinning around but eventually they get traction and drive out again :lol

I'd rather have water at my feet then floating around like a rubber dingy.
