The tourists are back in Glenridding but the signs of the devestation that hit this villiage in December are impossible to miss. Several businesses are still shut, including the Glenridding Hotel that flooded 3 times.

To mark the 100th day of recovery from the flood, the Environment Agency has singled out 100 projects on their priority list.

There is optimism in Glenridding. One of the directors of the Glenridding Sailing Centre on the banks of Ullswater, believes there's plenty still to do but they're on the road to recovery.

So 100 days after the worst flooding in Cumbria's history and it seems there are tentative signs of better times to come.
