As you can see the river level is getting near the L of Bristol on the Iron Bridge.
Thanks to Sean for sending this update on the level of the River Thames at 2:30pm on 6th Jan.
Kevin, AKA “Paringa” Barge, currently stuck in the floods, says the The Boat has at last floated itself off its position in the field below Abingdon lock and was last seen going under the bridge. It stopped for a while at the bottom of the island but is now on it’s way further down. Whereabouts unknown.
river ock has fallen 4cm this evening- hopefully the start of something…..
The water level in the field behind us in Orpwood Way has gone down overnight.
The level of the Thames in Abingdon has remained constant
at 3.45m for almost 12hrs now.
River level on the increase again.
Downstream of Abingdon lock now only 4cm below the high figure of Nov 2012. Above the lock now at same level as Nov 2012.
