We were out for a walk on Sunday, around Flanders Moss (no Geocaching - just a walk. Shhh! Don't tell anyone).
The walk took us up to the River Forth and at several points the path just disappeared straight into the swollen river. A great deal of it was also heavily waterlogged and boggy/muddy. The previous week we were up at Loch Katrine and noted that Loch Ard seemed very high, many of the trees surrounding it were submerged above their roots.
I see now that the Clydeside TB Motel has been washed away.

We've only been walking as a hobby for a couple of years and so we're not sure if this is perfectly reasonable for our soggy wee country or if the water levels are rising distressingly high.

Here was me thinking you had spare tickets for a concert

Not to sure about the river levels I am afraid!

It has been wet everywhere. When we flew over France to Chambery a couple of weeks ago, many of the fields were overrun with water and looked like lakes from the plane, and rivers had burst their banks in places. Once we landed I noticed that the rivers along the roadside were so high that the water was almost lapping at the road edges. By the time we left a week later, the water level had gone down leaving scum, muck and rotting vegetation everywhere. Lovely!

My parents have had a caravan, backing onto the river in Kenmore for about 12 years. When we went up on Sunday to check it over for them there is evidence the river must have been right up in the caravan park and almost into the flowers around their van. First time we have ever seen it come that high.

Although the river is almost back down to where it should be the ground is all wet and boggy in front of the vans. Welly boots and snorkels a neccessity for staying there at the moment
