Default [WR] Dartmoor/Mytchett 28-29/4/12 (a bit wet)

Hi, just back from a family camping weekend in the SE to have a bit of fun
at Thorpe Park and to swig some pints of Brakspears!
Trouble was we were camping in the rain, ah well - thats life!

Just back home this evening to find minor tree debris all over the road with
lashing heavy horizontal rain and fog, so nothing too severe. Will read my
rain gauge tomorrow where I suspect the total is over 200mm now for the
month, a record by far. Postbridge recorded 43mm today. Coming back noticed
the rivers Otter, Exe and Teign all in flood. Pity I missed my regular
Sunday Dartmoor walk today, it would have been interesting! (It did go ahead
apparently, but it was at a reasonably low level anyway).
