Being weird (not news too many on here :rolleyes:) I like to nip out after a good deluge and see how destructive the local rivers have become when fed with around 24 hours of rainfall. So yesterday, once the rain has stopped, out I popped . . .

1st stop is Garmouth, which has the Spey river gouging a path through the countryside right next to it.

There is a house behind that dense stand of trees . . .

Looking down stream towards the Garmouth railway viaduct . . .

Bike parked next to the river further up stream . . .

Finally, well up stream at Craigellachie bridge yesterday and a few years earlier . . .

Rivers, such interesting things. Last time I had a run-in with a feisty one I needed to do an unplanned nighttime ford to get the bike to dry land, the water went from edge-of-boot to full knee deep in 2 minutes time. The air intake wasn't much higher than that. It went on to rise another half a meter after that. Woof. o_O
