The B5285 flooded at Near Sawrey, Cumbria The yellow and white lines quickly disappeared from view under the water. I judged it be too deep to drive through. Fortunately the road was passable via a short cut behind the property to the left of this photograph. It took me five hours to drive from Near Sawrey to Kendal, normally a 14 mile drive.
