Wading... perhaps a little deeper than I should!

Took a little detour down Green Lane on the way home (again). Typically this little stream is only as wide as the small footbridge and the water only just covers the side steps.
But we've been having a lot of rainfall in the UK with the onset of winter and all the fields alongside the lane are flooded. Hence the stream now looks more like a river.
I didn't stop to find out (as I usually do), but I reckon the water was up to the tops of the tyres (approx 70cm). Centainly could feel it dragging as I pushed through. If the rainfall between now and tomorrow afternoon is not too bad, I'll shoot video as I go through.... but it may end up being too deep to attempt.
Anyway.. this is my Pathfinder
