Another case of the rain falling where it is just not wanted or needed.


Tell me about it. Parts of Dartmoor collected 3.3 *metres* of rain last
year.
The rivers are full, the reservoirs are full, yep we don't need any more,
but still it comes down relentlessly.
We are well used to rain up here, a way of life, but the last 24 months have
been a bit wearing at times.
All along the coast path erosion and landslips are increasing, the fields
are a boggy mess and footpaths are persistently muddy/boggy. Parts of the
moor are now unwalkable unless it is frozen, that wasn't the case when I
moved here in 2002. Although, I am sure this period is not unprecedented for
wetness.
