Well to tell the truth, the only reason i left the house was to go and rescue my Girlfriend and a mate from a exam they had. So i went down Halifax Road in Sheffield thought it was fine ” No floods here i’ll be safe be a 15min job this.” Boy was i wrong when i got to where Halifax Road meets Penistone Road that was all cut off because of flooding all Wensday Ground flooded, so Ok a little set back just go down at side of Hallam Fm radio Station, and got onto Herries Road and made my way back onto Penistone Road, made my way to Hillsbourgh College.

Oh the fun had only just started at this point, i could not make my way fully down to the college beacuse of the flood so i waited at the casino for them to arrive finnaly they did, so i thought right i drop down Penistone Road onto Rutland Road and take my mate home well i was stuck in traffic getting near Rutland Rd but then remebered there’s a little side road that bring you out onto Rutland so i went and not long noticed this was high in water BUGGER!!! At this point i was too far to turn back so i went throught it stong but then had to turn back ROAD CLOSED.

Right back on Penistone Road, had to wait there for ages more like 4 hours and didn’t even move more then 2 miles(No joke) each 15mins that passed listen to the traffic report hearing getting worse and worse traffice wise, then at the last minute heard about the wicker, so i luckly avoided it and went all up broke hill to Crookes, then to riveling then to loxley, into Outerbridge to just get back to Halifax Road. oh i was pulling my hair so in total i went a total of 10 miles. 4 hours and 2 miles of that was in traffic so the rest of the miles(8 miles) took me an hour. NOW WORD OF WARNING TO ANYONE DONT EVER GO OUT IN BAD RAIN LIKE THAT YOU WILL SUFFER

Right i also have some picies. 1 of hill. college, 2 of where i was in water and was moving sidways due to the current, and one of the park in outerbridge bare in mind the view i took you can usally see swings.
