cockermouth is my home town really, but went to school in keswick...
the main st had basically turned into the river..the river is a fair distance from the main st, yet still completely flooded.. the river still had its regular current whilst flowing down the main st aswell.. looked crazy!!

Was watching the aftermath of it this morning. Pretty damn bad.

Sorry guys. Cool photo's all the same. Just not of Katrina. Thought I recognised them.

Never knew that, I remember having some on my old laptop as someone posted them here before.
Either way though they are cracking pictures, I love seeing stuff like that.

Mr.M

my ex's family run a large holiday cottage business in Keswick..
tryin to think where u mean..

but yeh, if it was next to any part of the rivr, its probbaly flooded!! haha

Ok it wasn't quite in Keswick, it was like a 15 minute walk away. The place I stayed in was in Portinscale;

It wasn't part of this BnB but was litrally just behind it. It was a really nice cottage, it was upsidedown, the bedrooms etc was downstairs and everything else was upstairs lol.

Edit; I'm not sure who I rented with, sorry, my parents did all that.

Mr.M

to be honest mate, the deepest part of that part fo that river is probably less than that..:-(

shows just howbad it gets on that bend of the river.. and when that bit breaks, it pretty much means the rest of the river has already caused loads of problems.. a lot of the estatees in kes are built on the river banks as well so no doubt there's plenty of houses in trouble right now..

I rented a cottage right next to a river, I wonder how that’s doing? LOL

It’s near a small suspension bridge (public walk way, not road) next to some big hotel. At the back you can look straight towards the lake and up at catbells & maiden moor. Is a lovely place.

Mr.M

that first one looks like the scene from Independance day before the ship comes thru that burning cloud!! awesome pics...

wasp- yeh its a nice little getaway is keswick..
this pic is from just near the pencil museum, other side of the road.. have spoken to a few mates today, basically half of keswick is flooded, cant drive thru the town, no one can get into the centre to the shops etc... madness

The pencil museum, what a legend of a place. I remember going into that when I was 5 or 6 LOL.

I can't believe it floods that badly, The river is usually 2-3 foot deep, MAX.
