However, the water in the two floods was actually quite clean and hardly any mud at all. There was a lot of debris, though, at the end of the long section.<br /><br />Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-29203360303167480962013-02-14T18:28:01.635+00:002013-02-14T18:28:01.635+00:00Interesting, cause the car park at the Dolphin was...Interesting, cause the car park at the Dolphin was not flooded this morning. When I came past tonight it was all under water again, so I wonder if the bus way is going to rise again.<br /><br />Does your bike not get covered in sandy stuff from cycling along there in the wet Andrew?<br /><br />Thanks for the update mateKevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-21915363762920113832013-02-14T16:12:34.189+00:002013-02-14T16:12:34.189+00:00Flooding as at 14 February.

I cycled from St Ives to Swavesey this afternoon, and although there are still two stretches of the cycle track under water, I was able to cycle through slowly. The water was about 3 inches deep ( i.e. just touching the pedals) and my feet stayed almost dry. <br /><br />So, still far from ideal.Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-12278223547118213902013-02-12T11:17:02.304+00:002013-02-12T11:17:02.304+00:00Good lateral thinking!!Good lateral thinking!!Andrew Bethunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711423177266767155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-5184699690843367372013-02-12T09:14:07.705+00:002013-02-12T09:14:07.705+00:00Many thanks for the update Andrew.

Maybe the council should invest in a couple of bike-powered pedalo boats to let us use that stretch again.George Alexandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-30034350294342617662013-02-12T07:58:48.095+00:002013-02-12T07:58:48.095+00:00According to my records the last 'dry' day...According to my records the last 'dry' day was 27 January. <br /><br />It's been flooded 19 days on May 2012, 4 days in July and 60 days in November, December, January and February.
