Recent rain: footpath from New Lane to Bingham

Gusts of 108 mph have hit Wales and a Met. Office Red Warning for hurricane force winds is in force, and a cold front has just gone through. All that in a winter that has been the wettest for about 200 years, with the Somerset levels underwater for nearly two months, and the Thames has burst its banks and is at its highest level for 60 years.
