Mile End Stream in the Road

High groundwater levels after a very wet winter have caused a large amount of water to flow in this usually dry valley. The small roadside ditch has been overwhelmed and the river is in the fields and in the road. This is the second year in a row that this has happened. Sometimes there's no water here for years.
