Gemmill 43029 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Coast road is closed are what fellow passengers are saying. Are that what them are saying? I'm trying to go through Walker now. Roads flooded every fucking where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41440 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm a little worried for Mrs. F. She's started walking from Heworth, we live in Forest Hall. I'm stuck in fucking Aberdeen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43029 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've made it to Wallsend so far. I can't believe my car is still going, some of the fucking bodies of water I've driven through with broken down cars abandoned in them. Entire neighbourhoods on the street treating it like a spectator sport. I feel like I'm in a cross between Mad Max and Waterworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10515 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 For what it's worth "Watermax" sounds like a feminine product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ended up getting a lift with one of the girls from work. Fine from Seaham/Houghton to The Washington highway then it's gone mad. Driving through rivers in Springwell and have been crawling up Eighton Banks for the last 40mins. There are people broken down and abandoning their cars. There's people walking along the grass verges through running water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20540 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Back home. Walked from Northumberland park to the posh end of tynemouth. Knackered and soaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41440 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Mrs. F. walked from Heworth to Gateshead High St, got a bus over the bridge then walked to Haymarket. Another bus took an hour to get to Matthew Bank, where she got off and started walking. She rang me from Four Lane Ends, and I've got her sis to go pick her up. Mental.

Christmas Tree 4492 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Aye, sitting at Home in Boldon with blue skies this all sounds mental.

Kid Dynamite 6867 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Took some creative route finding to get back from Shields. Every roundabout was under 2foot of water. The amount of flash cars conked out after steaming through massive puddles amused me all the way home though Our street was entirely flooded. I'll post pics later. All the neighbours have spent 4 hours ferrying wheelie bins full of floodwater to the unblocked drains at the top of the street. Even the ones who weren't affected. Makes you proud to be British sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
