The red looking one.

Your chocolate one shouldn't really need it.

Tinker brook HAS flooded into the lodge twice in the last 7 years. I will try and find the photos and scan them.

Re: Floods.
rising bridge was very bad yesterday with waterfalls spewing into teh roads from teh fields, soil sliding away onto teh roads and lots of flooded gardens.

on teh bright side my alloy wheels have never looked cleaner and it was lots of fun making big splashes as i zoomed through teh huge puddles

An old lady told me that just now.

I only moved back here five years ago, and it hasn't happened in that time.

I know someone who though that was fun. The big splash was sucked into his air intake and caused the engine to instantly stop. A piece of broken piston punched a whole through his crankcase and the engine was scrap.

He does not think it is fun any more. I only laughed when i went to help him out as to why if would not start. I pointed out the hole and that you could see the crank through it

The worst I saw it Rindi was back in 62 or 63 when the Tinker was like a raging torrent and what is now the nature reserve was under 3ft of water
