Yeah, my first ever You vid. I guess about 3ft, it was classed as 3 star, can't wait for the 5 star on monday morning. See you later K..., this morning the bore was before seven, sundays is listed to be at 07.35 in the morning.

0735... Yaaaaawwwnnnn...
I've set my alarm already. I'll head onto Minsterworth afterwards, then home (nursing some ill rabbits), off to the land, home and then back to the Severn again in the evening.
Cleaning buns now and hope to get to Newnham around 11'ish tonight if there's still space in the car park with an easy exit in the morning.

Here's today's 5* Severn Bore filmed at Newnham-on-Severn then at Minsterworth:
Thanks to Haydn for arranging this (you always choose good locations!) and everyone else for their warm welcome.
I got stuck in the floods last night when the A48 closed (many minor lanes are still closed due to landslips following the earlier flooding last month!) so missed seeing a few people whom I'd hoped to meet but it was good to put new faces to names.
After today's bore at Newnham I dashed off to Minsterworth then returned to Newnham to find the car park almost deserted. The Severn rose following the bore but there were no repeats of the flooding and all roads and the car park remained dry.
The 'flamenco' video will be uploaded shortly to follow....

well that was interesting !IT's banging it out like the Gypsy Kings, Robmacs about to get ate by a monster snake ,the chameleon's doing the funny two-step and the bore finally impressed me !not being there I only ever get images,and seeing it coming up the river,it's just a not particularly high wave. but ! seeing it from behind as it passes-thanks for that shot !- you can see the sheer volume of water ! massive !i'll be there next year

Great well put together video Karen. Hey Mike a great solo on guitar as only to be expected, once witnessed and heard never forgotten. Ahhhhhh snake hips Rob sharing the scene with his namesake. Helen what was you doing with that newt , it was not sure if you was going to stroke it or eat it. I noticed it kept its distance from the salt and vinegar. Looks like MTM done another great meet as come to be expected. The car park looked a bit damp but you can't witness a Seven Bore without water. Well it looks like I missed a gud un but that's life in the fast lane. .... Tom ....
