Callum Visits North Wales.

The level of the river is what was so unusual, thankfully my boat survived despite a 30’ log landing in her stern mooring ropes, fortunately it also landed on the stern ropes of the boat next to me as well, our combined boyancy prevented it dragging our sterns down.
At low water my mooring is normally dry, on this ocasion the river was running at between 3 - 4’ depth around my keels at low water, and at about 6-8 knots.

I'm pleased to hear of your and your neighbour's good luck, and commiserate with those less fortunate.

As I understand it from this link, the gauge at ca. 2.4 (metres I presume, see downpage to Past Week graph) greatly exceeded the previous recorded maximum of 2.15m in 2005, and ‘typical’ high values of about 1m. And that’s the level, not the discharge!

Thanks for your comments and commiserations, clearance of the harbour started this morning, but as it’s mid day high tides at the moment work can only happen first thing in the morning and late afternoon.
