Floods
Saturday 28th of July 2007 by Ed
Got back from my girlfriends house who lives near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire so thought I would put some more photos up from the skatepark there. This is Pipe doing something. Most of Gloucestershire is semi under water. The pumping station got flooded which meant that we didn’t have any running water. So couldn’t flush toilet or have a shower. Pretty mad world really, things you take for granted are just not possible anymore. Her house wasn’t flooded cause it was on top of a hill but a lot of places were. Luckily we had lots of bottled water to drink.
When we went there on the trip before it was a real nice day, no floods there then. Lima flows the big box.
Lima tweak on the jump box again. The park near the skatepark had water about 6 foot deep in places over the last few days. I am hoping the goverment will see sense and building huge transitioned drainage ditches all over the place… Maybe with the odd full pipe included just incase? You know it makes sense.
Here’s a group shot I don’t think I put up before. Weather is a bit better today, hopefully will stay this way for a bit.
Gotta love pissed off security guards. Worst job in the world? Good video though.
There are more pictures from the Cheltenham in the Aversion roadtrip day one update.
