| Re: floods again
Lots of flooded roads here in the Cambridgeshire area during the last two days with many flood warnings in place and a severe warning for the Kimbolton area. With more rain anticipated over the next few days water levels are expected to continue to rise.
Currently the road is closed at a place called Earith (right at the southern end of the Ouse Washes and about 5 miles from where I live) and also at Welney on the Cambs/Norfolk border.
So if anyone is planning to visit the WWT's Ouse Washes reserve at Welney during the next week or so be aware that you may face a long diversion, depending on your direction of approach of course. In any case, the Washes are never at their best when the water levels are as high as this so I'd suggest delaying any planned visits for a couple of weeks until the flooding has receded a bit.
