The street was empty at 5am, but by 7am there was about 2ft of water in the house. Luckily I heard the drains gurgling outside, and I saw the first water come in to the house. I managed to get everything important upstairs. We got a boat out with the fire brigade at about 11.30.

Rosehip 29 May 8:23am, 29 May 2024 32,126 posts	0 Rosehip Last year (I think) I took a detour on my drive home from Liverpool (cutting across between m6 and m1 on the a6, I think) and did a quick up and down of Mam Tor. I may be driving back from Daughter's again on Tuesday morning and feel like a bit of a detour again so looking for ideas for somewhere I can park and walk for a couple of hours with a bit of elevation. I won't be very early, so wondering how busy parking is likely to be everywhere
