Poxy Weather

[V8Druid]

sometimes theres no choice but its telling you its not a good spot looks above your intended invert

was about to say similar ..... no point trying to install a soakaway in a pond ... just ain't gonna work
but as I said about Russ's groundwater problems yesterday - we ain't seen it this bad/high in a very long time and it has no where to go

No choice Kev but it's next door but one to us and I know that the water table is usually no higher than a metre or so in this area. So all I can do is blame the "Poxy Weather"

Mind you it didn't help that I pulled out about 5-6m of old clay land drain pipes. No longer in use but the water was pissing out and filling my hole.
Still it's for a neighbours new workshop/shed and it will have to do....

This area (East Anglia) is supposed to be the driest in the UK. It will dry up and then we will have heatwaves. "Poxy Weather"

Yes. Saw that one. Interesting that even though Dartmoor was one of the wettest places in the UK in January it says compared to it's normal average it's not far off whereas Hampshire and Dorset etc have had way more than they'd normally get.
