A webcam at Ashmount would be good  although a curfew on it to avoid offending the public, with the sight of drunken ODCC members might be required

hey! not just the ODCC there's far more boisterous clubs come here. Joking apart I would love a webcam here but I can't see how it would be possible. Anyway I don't even have to expertise to rig up a CCTV system like Gavi has and all that would be closer to the house.

Perhaps some of the marinas on the river can install webcams for the benefits of berthholders.
If Mike Gates is reading this - Can we have one at Bray please.
Hmm might regret this! - Mooring fees might get re-adjusted

Another page on the Maidenhead site does give a daily flow rate update.

Bray already has cams in the office, they are so good, they can watch you picking your nose on C pier.
Would rather they spent any spare cash on better Showers, for £20 a night nowhere near as nice as those in St Kats and Chatham. (PH poor too.)

Isn't it about time that the EA put flow telemetry on its website ? Then anyone anywhere on the river system can check flow rates and heights. It would be a tremendous safety feature.
Just found some info on flood and draining differentials:
http://www.isco.com/WebProductFiles/Appl...l-time_Data.pdf
It may be a bit out of date in places, but some of the graphs at the end show how the drainage capacity is way below the flood inflow potential. Which may explain how the river has so much gunge in it after heavy rain.

A basic IP wireless webcam will cost around £80.00 from Maplin .It will need 12-14 volts to run it or you can use the supplied 240V wall socket that comes with it if you have mains nearbye.
The main problem will be the wi-fi range,but over open fields you may get a few hundred yards with the aid of a directional aerial.suspect house(and your wi-fi ) will be to far away.
You can also monitor the image on your PC and keep an eye on Uncle Albert throwing his empties at the guests in the boozer opposite.

Thanks to the forum as I received no email alert from the EA I drove from work to the boat yesterday evening, river up over the hard mooring, thankfully some kind soul had lengthened my lines. She was floating just above the lip, so hopefully if it drops a little overnight we will be back to safety.

Do you have a plank hanging down the side to keep it in the river?

a good shout and not yet but will do today. Unfortunately I arrived at the boat yesterday suited and in Italian shoes lol. One of the guys is on the mooring today keeping an eye until I arrive this evening. The way things are going I think we will be asking the yard to install some risers.
