Updates to this page get sent out by email too; to receive them subscribe to the majordomo list psychopath@munchkin.earth.li (email majordomo@munchkin.earth.li with "subscribe psychopath" as the body of the message). Your subscription will need to be manually approved, so it might take a day or so, or longer if I'm on holiday or something. When I have time, I intend to switch the list to mailman, which has an automatic challenge-response system to prevent abuse, which would remove this delay.
You may also find the current flag status of the river useful. This page tracks the level of the Isis at Friar's Wharf; Geraint Jones informs me that 15" to 20" above normal there seems to be a good match for a flooded path.

All clear this morning. Just a puddle along the upstream side near the Dame's Delight cattle grid.

I cycled it at about midday in wellies but I think I would have been OK in shoes.

Definitely less deeper than yesterday's evening. The ground in Parson's Pleasure (grass covered area next to the rollers) was completely under the water at 8:30 pm last night, while about 50% is above the water level this morning.

Depth about the same as yesterday, easily walkable in Wellington boots. If anyone goes across the path this afternoon, please could they post an update for us walkers after today's precipitation? Thanks!

Unless you have wellies don't bother by foot- higher than the foot in trainers (ie you'll be soaked) they have also closed the alternate path by the Mosque (King Mills).

Well up from yesterday: flooded about three-quarters of the way to the bend in the track this morning. You can get through on the camber on a bike if you don't mind getting wet, but wellingtons would be useful if you're on foot.

Ninja Cows are back! (They sneak out of the ditches at you) They have brought their brethren Samurai cows (they just block the path directly). You have been warned... PS watch out for the cow landmines (cow pies!)!!!
“ An A-road walks into a bar and asks for a pint. The barman serves him, but he looks really tough and the barman worries that there'll be trouble.
“ Then a dual carriage way walks in and buys a pint. The barman again notes that he looks tough and says, ‘Look, I don't want any trouble, so could you sit in that corner away from the A-road?’ So the dual carriage way does.
“ Soon afterwards, in walks a motorway and gets a pint, who looks extremely tough, so the barman makes him sit in another corner away from the other two roads.
“ A bit later, a really small road walks in and buys a diet coke. The A-road, dual carriage way and motorway all look at him aghast and run out of the pub. The barman grabs the motorway on the way past and asks, ‘Why are you running out? He's a really tiny road.’
“ The motorway replies, ‘He's no road, he's a cycle path!’ ”
