And just realised something about our Road ride last Sunday. Had a week without much rain but the backroads were very wet and lots of deep puddles. The Marshes were somewhere near full and the fields are giving a lot of run off. The resoirvoirs may be low but the amount of water in the fields and on the roads is high.
And the Offroad Running 1/2 marathon over the South downs had the slowest time for several years due to the amount of Mud on the course.
We don't have a water shortage---- it is just in the wrong place.
