arbocop 14 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The Kennet and Thames flooding looks to be getting as bad as it can possibly get. I fear that part of the bank has gone near Hambridge. There are a lot of anglers who fish these rivers and their tributaries on AN does anyone have any photos of these areas? Both rivers are over the banks in Reading and surroundings and as high, or higher than 2003. Mike "I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off."

Both rivers are over the banks in Reading and surroundings and as high, or higher than 2003. No recent pics of the Kennet but this one was taken on 30th December 2013; And this on the 18th January 2014. You can see how the level has risen in that short time and given the constant rain we’ve had since then I expect I’d have to wear chesties to take a photo from the same spot. I’ve got the last week of the season off work, looks like I’ll be all dressed up with no place to go, even the Lambourn is struggling; It's never a 'six', let's put it back Link to post Share on other sites
