well currently where i am thats exactly the ground conditions! apparently the motorway I drive up everyday is actually by a HUUUUUUUGE lake! its actually the Exe river having a rather large 'fat' moment but the result is huge flooding all around!! Thankfully yard Im on is on next valley over but its still horrendus even though fields on good slope which drains straight down.
I work in Brigwater but live just North of Exeter and there is standing water the entire drive up (J28 to J23!!)
