Slash Lane at its junction with Sileby Road. The sign is a bit of an understatement! My bike is standing on an elevated part of the road, the hubs are just above the water level. I had to carry my bike for much of Slash Lane and Sileby Road as the water was up above my knees! ©Stephen Dee ID 2007-03-05-17760 |
