  1. Currently catfishing in Ashford and I'm about ready to jump in the lake with them it's that hot
  2. Moved up the A34 5 miles sw of Didcot. Uninterrupted views from a ridge to the SE and rumbling an be heard
  3. Indeed. Also the area to my E / SE is clearing so fingers cross well see those temps rise and something will fire
  4. And now we wait. Made my way up to Tot Hill services on the A34 just by the M4. Feeling warm with a few breaks in the cloud trying to appear.
  5. Goood morning all from a slightly murky south coast. I'll be finished work in an hr I've got a full tank in the van and my inverter turned up for the laptop......time to chase !!!!! Where to begin is the question. I don't have access to the full charts just basic and from what that shows me I kinda like the wind profiles north of Brighton ish. There's a slightly stronger jet from what I've seen and coupled with convergence zone / backed winds we have some shear potential. But will I end up playing catch up when it all kicks of to the west?? Is there anywhere offering free charts and live wind Maps that I could refine/ adjust my plans as needed. Good luck everyone
  6. Campervan all set up for a night out in the new forest near Hythe. Fingers crossed it kicks of early as got to set off for work at 6am, and more importantly I've out got 1 bottle of wine
  7. The first of the seasons chase is go! Finished work and heading north from winch to intercept the cells Woo hoo
  8. Final climb done for the day near Winchester, CU bubbling up all around.
  9. Morning all. That time of year again where we all get ridiculously excited and generally massively disappointed. I'll be finishing work climbing Telecom towers (hopefully before any storms fire) and heading out on the road today for my first chase of the year. Wish me luck luck and I'll post any cool pics or vid should the thunder god's smile on me
  10. Loads of CG coming out of the beast on the south coast, guess I'm staying put in the southbourne cliffs car park, come say hi if your about, big orange van
  11. Forgot my wallet so had to pop home again. Currently sat back on bmouth cliffs, towers going up here now.... .what to do , what to do
  12. What to do. Back in Bournemouth now, thinking of heading toward Dorchester way
  13. Sat on the cliffs in Bournemouth as storm went over, now sat near ringwood unsure whether I should keep with this storm / mess or wait for new hopefully more isolated storms.... What you recon?
  14. I'm out chasing this eve and at mo I'm not having to go more than 100meters from my flat
  15. Sat on the cliff tops in Bournemouth and it looks like this to the south
  16. Well I gave it a good go bit after over 3hrs waiting in McDonald's near Newbury I called it a BUST as the cold front went over and the wind swung to the west. Always next time
  17. After nearly 3hrs in Tothill services McDonalds I HAVE CONVECTION !!!
  18. Just pasted Birmingham you can see cloud line going SW and the winds behind have swung to the west
