Easter Sunday, the water is subsiding after the high point of the flood in the night before. For many clubs, this sort of thing is common, but we rarely have to deal with water inside the boathouse - we just make sure that Newport Pagnell and Great Barford are underwater first... Club members helped sandbag the club on Saturday, the police and army later assisted adjoining properties.

Well over a foot of head of water between one side of the Town Bridge and the other.

Not enough headroom for crews here - only a week earlier this was midpoint for some 400 crews taking part in the Bedford Small Boats Head

Hitchen Bridge, the first bridge on the head course. Just enough room for your boat here, but not for you. Surface water speed >2.5 m/s
