The Great Flood of Houx 2010
Discussion
Excellent pictorial diary of events Richard 
.It's only when you know how tall Nicky is that you realise quite how deep that was!
We only managed a few inches of water under our tent but had to divet a small river into the pond that overfolowwed into your campn (sorry
)
Still the best bit is we are now the proud owners of a treching tool which we will now bring every year to ensure a constant run of droughts for years to come

I remember walking around the corner on Saturday heading up to the bridge and 2 guys telling me ‘you won't get through that way’ (thanks if it was you ), then noticed the lake that had appereared over night.
I hope you didn’t loose too much stuff and managed to get out before getting too wet, I think the problem was caused by the field behind the concrete fence being like a lake even before the rain came

The sleeping bit of the tent was mainly dry, just a bit of dampness rising up throught the groundsheet! There wasn't too much water in the other bit, it was just starting to come over the top of the inner groundsheet, luckily the plugs & fridge were off the ground. I think if we had slept for any longer things may have been slightly different!
First priority of course though was to move the car!!
