The evening walk tonight was our annual carol singing event. However, there was an incredible storm between 5.00pm and 6.30 which meant there were flash floods everywhere. I didn't have far to travel so decided to venture out. There was a flood just before the main road and the police were putting up a road closed sign as a got there. Between Yelverton and the Walkhampton turn there was a huge flood in the dip and couple of broken down cars and the road out to Dousland was just awash. If I had been a bit more sensible I would have turned back.
On to Norsworthy Bridge where only four more had made it. Not enough for carol singing although surprisingly the stong wind and rain had stopped. It was decided we would have a gentle bimble into the woods. We took the track up to Leather Tor Bridge where the river was going crazy. Up to the leat and out a clearing for some Christmas goodies.
With John, Charles, Mike and Stella
