we had to cross 4 streams in flood, my dad has taught me to do this safely ,
please be careful you can find your way blocked with a detour making you more tired and route taking longer than you planned, you have to be very careful in this type of weather with floods!
note from Dad,
the Bridge was tested before we went across , though a sudden intentional release of water from the reservoir could have caused problems Jake could have been off the bridge before a incident !

I have switched to my other coat as the weather had turned being more windy, I swapped my gloves and hat to keep things more wind resistant ,
Gouthwaite reservoir
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouthwaite_Reservoir
the weather had cleared , but still the wind , my feet became cold at this point as the constant water soaking penetrated my layers, it was like running through a river !
very wet today very windy it had gusts upto 50mph
a quarry no mines !
every route was the same !
marked as a shooting lodge
the wind was so strong it blew the water back up a waterfall !
Leo reading !
