Obviously few are not aware of problems in Cumbria but Sky is reporting 1800 bridges are to be checked and several bridges and roads are closed.
The impact of the roads problem seems to be covering well beyond the headline sites.
The usual problem of rubber neckers has been reported and police ask them to desist and not travel to the area (some with canoes).

The situation up here in Cumbria is pretty grim especially in the west of the county.
I would suggest to any backroomers who have business in the county to check if there appointments, visits,ect are essential. The situation west of Keswick is truly shocking with the A66 the only route into the Workington, Whitehaven area and this is the only good route to Sellafield. The well used cut over Ennerdale via cold fell are poor due to deep floodwater and its raining heavily now so the situation will only get worse rather than better.
The route ig you wish to visit one side of Workington to the other is about a 30 mile diversion its A66 to Keswick, A591 to Bothel and then down the A595 to Workington.
