Too much water
With severe weather warnings issued for heavy rain the prospects weren’t good for today. Sure enough the rain was heavy all night and still heavy this morning. The forecast is for heavy rain for 4 or 5 days (and probably more) so there was no prospect of continuing our filming by waiting a day or two. So, on with the waterproofs and off we head back to Sherborne Wharf in the rain and we’ll have to come back again later to complete the filming. 
Unlike my last visit to Hatton Locks when there was a shortage of water while the locks were drained for maintenance, there was a surplus this time. Lots of water flowing over the bywashes which use the former single locks left when the wide locks were installed in a modernisation scheme. Sometimes it just flowed in torrents over the gates as if it was winter rains we’d had. We’re moored at Kingswood Junction ready to head up the Lapworth flight to reach our home mooring at Sherborne Wharf tomorrow or Monday. Posted on Saturday, 6 June 2009 at 16:43 Comments (0) |
