The third dip on the way back is more like a canal and totally impassable. The rest is okay, but all of the debris has retuned again. After the concrete bridge, had to turn back and go around the top bit as that is till under water.<br /><br />The third dip that usually floods the worst, well that's going to take weeks by the look of it.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-83517859064741166502013-02-03T19:55:41.999+00:002013-02-03T19:55:41.999+00:00Thanks Andrew for that, much appreciatedThanks Andrew for that, much appreciatedKevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-82201277315658303592013-02-03T19:31:30.508+00:002013-02-03T19:31:30.508+00:00The water level has gone down, so that track is no...The water level has gone down, so that track is no longer under the water ( apart from about 4 metres beside the concrete bridge). However there is a lot of debris on the track so you'd have to take care.

When you say dried out, do you mean the flooding has gone but the track is still wet or the track itself has completely dried out as well?<br /><br />I have emailed a guy at the council as well, so I will post his reply when I get something!Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76868463409565053.post-4502971060429572172013-02-03T12:50:20.419+00:002013-02-03T12:50:20.419+00:00Update 3 Feb.

But the water there is only shallow and should be OK with care on a bike.
