Good morning! Time for slow travel aboard the train on the #Eskdale Valley Line from #Whitby to #Middlesbrough. An idyllic single-track line following the river Esk. Four trains per day 🚞

Storm Otto sounds tame outside this morning. I’m off work and in the lakes so time to get a long run in. Slow ½ marathon round the valley bottoms of Eskdale & Miterdale I think #running #ultrarunning #LakeDistrict #Eskdale #StormOtto

#Hastings & #Napier drinking water supplies remain operational but with the community asked to restrict their use to reduce the impact on the wastewater network.

#Eskdale Valley has been particularly hard hit with extensive damage. In addition to evacuation orders and self-evacuations, a number of rescues have been undertaken by emergency services.

HB Civil Defence has requested support from NEMA, with the scale of damage to beyond the capacity of the region to manage.
