NB Alnwick Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Unusually, 'Alnwick' is floating on her mooring - which means that the water below Cropredy lock will be over the towpath. I didn't notice a lot of rain overnight but obviously there has been more than sufficient . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. Edited January 14, 2021 by Ray T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav and Pen Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Nene will also risers our little brook in the village is really flowing. Think it rained all night and still steady drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, CRT warning in time, or that stretch?? Unfortunately, I think it will get a lot worse on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not uncommon as the Trent (which cross the T&M at that point) is quite significant by then and the cross flow makes it even harder to navigate. Less common, I think was the notice p0f closure for high water levels on the bottom of the Grand Union around Hanwell. The notice did not say but I presume it was from the River Brent which joins the party around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 We are on the moorings above Cropredy Lock. Levels a bit higher and a bit of a flow towards the lock. You know when it’s been raining a great deal when the water is chocolate brown(ish) from the fields. It rained a lot yesterday and night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Harold Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 The boy stood on the burning deck,his back against the mast. He wouldn't move a single step 'till Oscar Wilde had passed. Now Oscar was a cunning chap,he threw the lad a plum,and when he went to pick it up -----damn! I've forgotten the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
