Wick River in full spate

[ATHRoss]

Took a few of the river today.

Not quite in full flood as a few years ago but close.

Great photos.

Brilliant photos from everyone! I did not manage to go look myself so much appreciate your efforts. Thank you. :D

[Sporran]

I find these photos fascinating! I grew up in Thurso, and never in my 20 years there do I remember seeing any of the Caithness rivers in spate like this. Seems like it's a more recent trend!

[Liz]

Thanks for sharing such great photos with us everyone.:D

I saw the river where Bluebell's photos were taken as go there every day with our dog to see the train. It's the dog who's the train spotter!:lol:

I don't remember seeing it flooded this badly although someone said the last time it happened was 2006 and it was even worse?

[Phoenix200416]

Awesome photos all! The train one is a brilliant capture! Thanks for sharing all those, wish I was up there having a splash around in my wellies!

Great photos from everyone on this and the Thurso thread. Is global warming causing this too frequent flooding? Kinda scarey to be in the water's path.

[North Light]

Some excellent photographs in the thread, I particularly like the one with the train in.
