Flooding?

[Hatchet]

Lads and Lassies.

I wonder if can you help.

I’m heading off on a bit of a trip around Europe tomorrow (Friday). I will be getting the fast ferry from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead arriving 1pm and heading to Harwich to get the 11.30pm ferry to Holland.

Under normal circumstances I would make Harwich in plenty of time, but I’m hearing stories about really bad flooding and bad weather warnings across Wales and England . Is there anywhere along the route I should especially avoid due to flooding and closed roads etc?

Thanks

Hatchet

It's fine over here in Suffolk, just up the road from Harwich.

Unlucky! -

Try this web site to see where the rain will be during your trip - looks ok for Friday, but not sure about existing weather conditions.

Harwich is fine, as is the A12 and the M25 to west London.

There are some roadworks on the Junction of the A12/M25 but you shouldn't have any probs on a bike.

If you get to Harwich early, gimme a call if you fancy a cuppa (I'm two mins from the port) or head down to the old town...there's a nice little place to sit on the pier/dock thing and have a cuppa and there's an ice cream van

AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH Fanum

I finish my week of night shifts tonight. I was going to keep an eye on this thread through the night in work, but every time I get to one of your messages my PC crashes.

PS thanks for the offer of tea.

Just logged on in work. T’ternet isn’t crashing on Fanum posts anymore . Now to put the kettle on .

Thanks all for the info. I don’t think the flooding is going to be a big issue for me.

BTW. Do you guys still have that hosepipe ban thing over there?
