Eeks, I cycled that back in September! That puts it into perspective for me!I went out on the Solway today to see the "Super Tide", and it was bloody high. In places it was only a foot or so below thew top of the flood bank.
Here's what it's normally like - from almost the same spot as the photo above - https://goo.gl/maps/kZ4IL
Beautiful view.Sunrise this morning. Severely limited in my ability to change the scene in that I am still housebound and bedbound pretty much, so this was just what I had from the bedroom window. (We are now back in our own home after 5 weeks of housesitting for a our landlady next door).

Yup I was between Boustead Hill and Drumburgh, just by the cattle grid (Calrilse/Allerdale boundary). The entire road was flooded between Drumburgh and Dykesfield with just Boustead Hill and Easton humps above the water line. I assume the sight was similar all the round the estuary to Skinburness.Superb photo! Are you between Boustead Hill and Drumburgh at that point?If so are you on the top of the railway bank?
