Flood Plain near South Elmsall

Whether by accident or design this area appears to be providing an effective catchment area for floodwater - in this instance following the deluges three days earlier on 21st November. The two footpaths crossing the plain were both submerged but sheer belligerence sent me across - only to end up ankle-deep in water just yards from the sewage works.
