This is the view of the "other side" of the flood interception ponds on Slatey Sike, after the downpours earlier in February [Ciara, Dennis and other rain storms]. Whilst the ponds are now draining - having done their job of intercepting the flows - runoff from the higher ground is still visible. The sheep aren't too happy as everything is still sodden, and they are quite muddy.

What looks like flooding in the aftermath of Storms Kathleen & Pierrick [4th to 10th April 2024] is actually the filled up flow retention ponds, which slow the discharge of storm water. [Has been raining all day]

Additional heavy rain & runoff on the 20th February 2020, after Storms Ciara & Dennis had saturated the ground, so the interception ponds on the Slatey Sike flood prevention scheme are more than full.

Additional run-off from more rain after Storms Ciara & Dennis has passed over, means the Slatey Sike interception ponds are more than full. At almost full zoom, combination of rain on the window and camera shake have made the focus lower quality.

At the foreshore end of Main St, Ravenglass is this flood prevention gate. It is closed for very high tides / predicted storm surges.

In action again - heavy rain (and strong winds) from a slowly moving frontal depression. This downpour was a couple of days before "Storm Gertrude" was identified / named. The sheep are more sheltered by the trees up there on that slope and the ground is slightly better drained and their routes across are under water..
