The third flash flood on the North Pennines has just occured, well still
is but levels are falling rapidly.

Ash Gill draining the southern flank of Flinty Fell and the northern side
of Yadd Moss is well up. Not quite fully out of it's channel, but it was
at the lower places.

Garrigilll Burn and the other smaller gills that drain the other side of
Flinty Fell are only marginally, if at all, up considering how much
overall rain we have had recently. These are the ones that caused the road
damage and flooding at Garrigill last Thursday evening.

This rain came from a thunderstorm that occured around 1400, I recorded
just 3mm with a peak rate fo 2mm/hr. I'm about 4 miles from the catchment
of Ash Gill, which isn't that large maybe 20 sq km. Just shows how
localised these down pours are. Photos on my site latter...
