COME HAIL OR HIGH WATER

The stream, which has been dry for most of the time through summer and early autumn, becomes the River Filnore after heavy rainfall.

And we also have the Filnore Falls.

Sometimes the water can't get through the tunnel near post 20 

and the overflowing water sweeps over the top of the track, eroding the bank.

To cap it all, during the latest coppicing work morning on 25th November, a diabolical HAIL STORM drove the volunteers into a huddle under a bush.  But after it stopped they carried on undaunted - or only moderately daunted - by this meteorological fury.
