Didn't see much of a rise overnight thankfully but it is the second highest I've ever seen it.

Its still rising in the upper reaches, my stretch went up 7cm overnight its now only 3cm off the highest recorded http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/136497.aspx?stationId=7086

All that water is on its way down

Have a friend who lives on the High Street in Benson and says the water is creeping up the road towards him. Meantime this is Wallingford:

Just where is that taken from/to, Katy?

Not absolutely sure, he didn't say, just that it was Wallingford, sorry!

Its looking at the car park for the Riverside swimming pools, the river is not in the view.

Thanks Chris.

I just looked on Google Maps and came to the same conclusion:

Just checked my markers and levels have dropped 2" overnight; on Shepperton weir stream.

I'm not at work today , but was still on the river this morning , and one of the radial gates has been closed at Tedders.

Levels rose again at Penton Hook Marina last night. Water is now encroaching onto the pathway outside the Yacht Club adjacent to piers C and D.

B1 - I've read elsewhere levels have yet to peak. If you pop down to your boat over the next day or two it might be as well to chuck your wellies in the boot just in case.

Won't be back down the boat until after the weekend when hopefully there should be some improvement.

Thanks Wavey. Unlikely to be down in next few days as managed to contract a nasty infection after hospital check-up so ain't going nowhere for a few days. However did get down briefly last Sunday to check lines and no shore leccy connected so should be ok. The marina guys seem to be keeping a pretty close eye on things.

I will be at Windsor later this morning and will report back.

Reading peaked in the early hours of this morning.

 

[Skysail]

Cookham Moor road flooded this morning, and still rising.

 

[Sulley]

This was Windsor today

Not that far to go.....

 

[teddington_lock]

Who's out on their boat ? Lol

 

[Sulley]

He flew past me turned and then very slowly came into the marina. It's a Windsor boat so probably came from Bray.

What a strange assumption!

 

[Chris_d]

Windsor looks fairly normal, you can't tell where the river is up this end!

Still going up at penton hook
