Hi Stu,
I didn't put a hotel address down and was accepted no problem. Left it blank.

Afternoon all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a small query.
I'm going on one of the storm chasing tours in May and want to take my canon1200d.
A problem I'm having is that if I go on manual and adjust to infinity it does not go fully to infinity, I have to refocus slightly which means I lose clarity for night time shots. In fact it becomes a lottery.
I want to know if any members use an m42 bayonet attachment with older pre dslr lens with a modern dslr body .
I have a number of old style lenses which I hope will give better focus.
Unless of course I'm missing something really simple!
Thanks for any help

Stick with airline sites or a travel agent. Something as important as this shouldn't be left to chance.
Of course Skyscanner and other such sites are a good tool but use under caution.
I'm keeping an eye on airline sites, checking everyday.

Sounds like it's going to be a fun one.
Have booked the Best Western on West Airport Freeway Irving for 4 nights. I take it the restaurants and Walmart next door are all decent?
My mate Paul (yes ANOTHER Paul) will be there too.
I bribed him with the 6th Floor Depository and Six Flags to get out early.
Is the West Irving Station on the tre a reasonable walk or better to drive? Going to get a hire car for a couple of days so I can get to AT&T stadium.
All the best

Where are my manners. Hello all and look forward to meeting you soon.

I'll be on tour 1 2017. Flying out on the 5th as I want to get some time in around Dallas before the tour starts.
Haven't booked flights yet but prices are lower than a few months ago. Going to fly Manchester DFW via Heathrow. £120 less if you do that connection. Madness.
Was looking at going via Dublin just to get pre-clearance but decided it's one flight too many.
Plus with connection times would mean leaving the 21st rather than the 20th.

So a complete lack of any decent storm action so far! Makes you wonder sometimes.

I'm in Peterborough mate, all summer now too, as I will no longer be down Portsmouth anymore. I often go out storm chasing when it is a decent day for it and have spare time, fens is probably the best place to storm chase as it is very flat with country roads that are not busy at all. Almost like a mini mid west haha. Also not a million miles from Boston either mate.
Still waiting this year for a decent storm day though... have not had any at all. It really has been quite a tedious spring for storms.
Too Right. Had a little storm one afternoon the other week and I think that has been it! Seems like Western Europe (France/Germany ) is the place to be

Thunderstorm over Boston Lincolnshire at moment, a strike a minute at the moment. Very nice.

Terribly sad news for all . My condolences to the families.
We should also remember that people like Tim , his son , Carl and many other don't do this for fun. There is a real need for data to attempt to determine why one storm drops and another doesn't.
The legacy for these men is heard every time there is a siren . The time gained by the work of these people has saved countless lives. That should never be forgotten. And neither will they.
Descanses en Paz.

Good day to you all.
I am looking for an individual or group that would be willing to allowing a very keen amateur to join in their travels.
I live in Boston Lincolnshire, the closest place we have to the prairies I suppose.
I have always been fascinated by thunderstorms and tornadoes , but also have a place for cloud structure, especially a thunderstorm cell seen from many miles away.
I will be out and about Lincolnshire ,the East Midlands, the Fens and East Anglia this spring and summer when possible.
Contact me if you are need another chaser, especially handy with petrol money!
Good Hunting to you all in 2013 and on.

Pretty much sorted thanks Olly.
Only things left are to book for the trips over the first 4 days.
I know there's a car park at the TRE so will drive and park. Unless I decide it's a better idea to have a drinky in Dallas.
Anyway countdown is in full swing. 77 days until departure.
