Over 24 hours of solid downpouring has put 65mm of rain into our rain gauge, which I'm pretty sure is a record here.
Naturally, as soon as the rain had stopped I went to check out the river! I didn't have time to take a kayak, but to be honest, that was probably a good thing - it was raging!
After taking the van to the garage, I made my way home to The Cottage without needing to use a road at all! The final section of the cycle track has been completed through this long tunnel. I took a torch, but now there is lighting the whole way through it.
The Ogwen was just bursting its banks as I crossed the footbridge back home.
Even though my main task of the day was trying to do some painting outside, I was forced to stay in. With the place feeling toasty, I got down to some serious expedition planning for the summer instead...
The rains eventually ended on Tuesday afternoon, (just as Clare returned from the Isle of Wight), in time for a refreshing walk down the track.
