taken 17 years ago, near to Welney, Norfolk, England

A1101 Wash Road, Welney - flooded and closed
A1101 Wash Road, Welney - flooded and closed
The A1101 Wash Road crosses the Ouse Washes at Welney. The washes are the 20 mile long, 1 mile wide floodplain created for the diverted River Great Ouse. When flooded the Wash Road is closed causing a 30 mile diversion.

I was standing on the flooded road in my wellies - so it was less than a foot deep.
