I drove home this evening at approx. 10 PM in torrential rain. From Crich to Cromford, up the Via Gellia – all fine, then via
Rider Point (as I wasn’t sure whether the B5056 north of Longcliffe is currently closed). There were two places where the road, below Harboro Rocks, is well-and-truly flooded: close to the X-junction above Rider Point and another close to the Longcliffe junction.
In contrast, the usual flood near the turning for Ballidon was insignificant.
