To be honest, I don’t know how deep. I was on the crown of the road, the water was trapped between two grass verges. Spray was coming from the front, over the bonnet and from the front wheels. The length of flooded road about 100 yards with loss of traction on and off for maybe 20 yards. This is the second time Ive hit deep water with no warning. The first thing that happens is a massive splash rises up in front of the car 8-10 feet high which you then drive into and it it all comes down into the cockpit. The other thing you notice is that every little turn of the steering wheel sprays water in your face from one direction or the other. Because of this, progress through the water is necessarily slow.
At least all the abrasive dust left over from the Gogs and Gaunts Kielder Forest track run was washed out of all the nooks and crannies !
