Whilst the north rivers seem not to be draining out especially in the more inland locations the south is near to normal in rise & fall albeit the highs are quite high. Even last weekend there was almost 1m rise & fall. https://www.ntslf.org/data/realtime?port=Lowestoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 One of the issues with Ludham Bridge is the slope of the underside of the bridge there is almost a 3 inch (71 mm) Hight difference from one side to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that, bit like Wayford. Wonder if that's why the board is a bit pessemistic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I only went by the low corner and still had an extra 6" over what the board said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 In response to my own prompt re ludham bridge, from the top to the concrete cills on the low side (ludham side) is 93 1/2" (7' 9 1/2") on the high side it's 99" (8' 3"), the high side cill is at this moment 2" above the water, and the low side 4" above the water, with the downstream board showing 7' 8" and the upstream board showing 7' 10" with the centre of the span averaged at 8' measured, this is I was told at low water - about 12.15pm on the 9th Oct. The important fact is the cill to bridge measures won't change, so if both cills are visible there is a minimum of 8 foot clearance in the centre of the span, plus anything that the cills are above water level . 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
