Whats the weather like near you?

The local ramblers are putting sections of  wooden boardwalks everywhere, must be may miles of it all added up I  think its foolish as it don't last more than 5yrs & needs alot of ongoing maintenance.

 

 

I reckon mini raised embankments plus some drainage could work better in most places.

At least they're doing something proactively. I agree with you though - drainage is the way to go.

The geology and landscape is totally different here. Quite a few bits of forest are flooded at the moment with the snow melt (usually planted with alder and birch in those areas) but the sandy soil means there is almost no mud. I went for a 6km walk up the ski slope and back through forest tracks with my wife this morning and the shoes were just as clean when we got back as when we left. It was about 4c and thick mist/light drizzle. 

 

It's not just the UK though. I've got friends who cycle in Germany, and their photos on Strava look pretty similar to that footpath.

Forking wet....and wet again....oh....and a bit more...wet again. Will it ever stop....oh.....NO

[Mick Dempsey]

Yep, pissing down all day here.

Wet all day here in Essex- got another 6 out of 16 50ft leylandi to fell but the ground is now too boggy to get the truck and chipper near. No idea how long it’ll take to get dry enough ☹️

Snowing here. But too wet to settle properly

Drizzling here this morning. 4c.

Due to return to daily frosts on Monday. No precipitation forecast for a couple of weeks at least. Should be quite pleasant.

Same here but a degree colder.

Are your forecasts reliable then because if that forecast was for here it would be raining on Monday and nonstop for a fortnight.

I'm not confident they can tell us what did happen with any accuracy never mind what will happen.
