Only a few small area suffered flooding. Wainfleet was one. Lincolnshire drains quickly because of the extensive dyke system

It was not possible to get from Washingborough to Lincoln last week as a part of it was underwater, it may have changed since. The summer route is a bit of a mudbath at the moment.

If you do get on it and you go through Bardney then the Heritage Centre is a good cafe stop, plus the owner is a proper character.

Thanks thinking of doing a stretch of it over the weekend.

Are you allowed to use the word dyke in this day and age!!!

Like so many words, it depends upon usage and context

Goodness, yes. We have some really old dykes, which are good

Goodness, yes. We have some really old dykes, which are good

...and often lead to gowts. Which are also good.
