Localised Flooding

[clivvy]

so we had a very rainy day today here in Huddersfield, and all the usual places flooded. Me and Heidi were out and about in the Maverick, and as ever i was a little nervous figuring this was a recipe for my car breaking down. anyway, go to some badly flooded roads (Cooper Bridge for a start for those who live near by) and everything was fine, drove right through it and the car didnt break down, have a fit, or have an electrical spasm.

needless to say i wasnted to do it again but traffic was backed up as people tried to pass through the middle, so i went for a scoot round the back track and had a good splash around in the puddles etc, was fun, i really need a green lane somewhere...!!

do you know of anywere local? i might be tempted to take mine before i look at part x in it in

 

[kbekl]

their are a few people looking for a lane day befor it gets too wet

so i think if any one who knows the lanes should see if we can get out

 

[clivvy]

i dont know anywhere local at all Martin, ive had a look on maps etc but i cant see anything

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

the small floods on roads on shropshire have been fun today, i got my T2 plastered in mud hauling logs and then a free car wash racing through flood water on the way home :thumb2

Yeah the Calder is well up:clap

Seen a dipstick who had to drive through a flood in his citren picasso and stopped! a fiesta tried to tow him out but gave up when his clutch started to smell.

The place to go is Thornhill Lane at Brighouse, theres a great little Ford. I've been there before to wash the underside but it don't half flow in weather like this. I'm sure Briggie will know the place.

Quite a few in derbyshire........... and a lot in north wales, if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to show ppl the lanes I know, tend not to go for the ones which are scratchy tho, my motor is clean and in good condition, plenty to drive tho which are non damaging.......
