For for those riding in the wet, please take it easy especially across river or creek crossings

Before the deluge came, it was a creek about as wide as a foot length and not deep enough to get your laces wet.
5 mins of sheltering, we went back to the creek crossing and came across this...

Funny enough, the idiot featured fell in holding onto a palm leaf as support ...........................He is fine

That looks quite a torrent!

Where's it at?

Rivers that rise fast, also generally drop fast once the rain has stopped. So if you can't get out the way you came, just wait it out. Don't risk crossing a flooded creek, many people have died trying.

Are you sure your mate didn't have a little help?

Well, I'd have been tempted ... Eye-wink
