If it's the Rivelin Dams you're on about then you're not actually allowed to swim in them, they belong to Yorkshire Water. It's also incredibly dangerous, water is drawn off from below and there can be strong undercurrents. They put fencing up last year on the wall near the main road, presumably to deter swimmers. I remember just the week before the number of cars parked up on the verge was ridiculous, it was during the warm spell last spring, although having said that the car park across the damn had been closed by YW.

Saw Harry last year, he was amazing!

Well that wasn't forecast yesterday, not on BBC weather site anyway.

Ah could well be, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.

Noticed this today going into town but can't see anything on news sites of anyone significant who's died?

Knew we were going to concede an equaliser!

I live pretty close to the border and regularly go outdoors in Derbyshire, don't even give it a second thought. It was handy before when Derbyshire was tier 2 and you could go for a pint without having to buy a meal.

Well done for missing the point.

Most pavements aren't wide enough to keep 2m apart.

It's hardly the narrowest of pavements. You could turn that argument on its head and say any pedestrians who can't navigate the path without getting too close to each other should get an appointment at specsavers.

Not enough to warrant taking 2 yards of a busy road away no.

To give more room on the pavement to pedestrians . In answer to your first question, I think they're ridiculous.

Still cordoned off as of midday.

Well I don't know for certain it could mean nothing but would suggest it's serious if they're still examining the scene.

I've just been past and police are still blocking it off, it's at the top about 50 yards from the Redmires road junction. Heard a lot of sirens going past at around 3 o'clock so a few hours ago now. Caught a glimpse of officers in white overalls around the crashed car, which doesn't look good.
