The object of creating a bow wave is to keep the water clear of the fan. Getting the speed right is key. Enter very slowly and gradually increase speed until the correct wave is produced.
difficult with the fan underr water. but aI gotr through.
Yep, you look at the flood, you wonder how deep it is, you think about how badly you need to get where you are going and you take your chance. Low gear, slow speed, high revs. Every winter round here.

There is a devilment factor that comes into play there;-)..
Well that road is a good link between say Ely and Wisbech and you have to make a long detour to go any other way. I think it'd be justifiable to build the level of the road up and put concrete drains under it let the water flow.
Theres a railway line nearby which is on a bank that drains well and part of the river goes under a rail bridge.
It does provide between the Old and New Bedford rivers quite a lot of capacity for flood water that can take sometime to get through the great Ouse river to the wash then the sea..
