[ROLL CALL!!! 2023 Chase Season]

Last day at work tomorrow, then Wednesday I'm off, need to do a fit-to-fly covid test at local pharmacy and packing, before arriving LHR Thursday morning to catch the BA flight to DEN at 14:50. Anyone else on this flight for T4? I know Richard, the other driver, is. 

Really looking forward to it, been 3 years since the last chase stateside and will be my 8th storm chase since the first way back in late April / early May 2007.

Looks like there'll be a big MCS a few 100 miles to the east over Kansas the evening / night I land on Thursday, before it moves on to Arkansas on Friday. hot and dry for much of the Plains over the weekend, but picking up for the Northern Plains end of weekend / next week, as the ridge moves on and the next trough arrives in the west.

Cheers

Looks like most of tour 4 are on this flight!! Myself, Richard and Steve will be on it too!!! Currently at the coach station waiting for my journey to Heathrow. Test at the airport before chilling out in a hotel

Hi Nick, 

Yeah, I'm also on this flight. First time out there for me - what do people do re currency? I rarely use cash any more but thinking perhaps I ought to get some dollars out? 

Cheers, 

Luke 

Looking forward to meeting you Luke. Sorry have been too busy to follow these messages until now. I'm doing a mixture of dollars and card

[Tour 4]

I would definitely recommend flying in the day before. Is it too late to change?

["What do I take?" - The question answered - A Kit List!]

Towels can take up space in your bag. I only take 1 as most hotels we stay at provide them

So happy you're joining us......bring on the cocktails!!!!

Yaaay a buddy I can't wait to meet you - Paul has said a lot of good things! And Jodie is obviously the best name ohhh you'll arrive in nice time for food in Denver, I'm on the later flight at 14.40! Have you booked your Denver hotel yet? 

Oh dear......I dread to think what Paul has said!!! I had a late arrival in 2017 so went with the early one this time. Just means i have to travel up to heathrow the day before. I'm booked in to the Days Inn on Tower Road.....Have you booked yours yet? The general alcohol theme on this thread tells me i'm on the right tour!!!!!

[Tour 4]

Fellow tour 4 buddy here and yes another Jodie!!! I'm on the 11:25 from Heathrow to Denver on the 7th

And don't make the mistake I did at Tower Road in Denver, of thinking the building across from the Days Inn is a Pharmacy. I found to my own cost its a dispensary of cannabis instead, that was awkward...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Thanks for the heads up

Out of interest is there a base hotel in Arizona like in Dallas or Denver?

Yeah Denver in future almost seems more central, Dallas is quite a long way South, and I was surprised how quick it was to the Kansas border this year from Denver. Plus  Burlington, CO. Seemed to be a great base for many days storm chasing on T4 this year!

Happy new year everyone!

What is the base hotel for Denver? Need to get it booked for tour 4

[T4 Flights 2019]

I've booked mine. Got a great deal. Fly out the 8th from Heathrow 

[Tour 1 and flight options]

i'm arriving on Monday 8th around 19:35. Staying at the best western

 

3 weeks to go!!!! 

[Tour 1 and flight options]

Just a question for our more experienced chasers @bristolstormchaser @mikeofmacc . Any advise on how much spending money to take?

[Tour 1 and flight options]

Sorry have only just seen your post. My flights have changed thanks to the airline dropping the flight with 10 weeks to go. Does mean i have a direct flight to Dallas though (happy days) leaving Heathrow at 15:15 arriving in Dallas around 19:30 ish. I have a coach booked already from Weston to Heathrow leaving at 6.20 am so plenty of time for Monday morning rush hour traffic!!!!

[2017 Storm Chase - 3 places remaining]

I'm on tour 1 and i'm flying in the day before and staying at the hotel. I get a coach from Weston Super Mare to Heathrow, then fly from Heathrow to Denver then Denver to Dallas so will need the sleep!!!!

[Advice]

Thank you for all your advice. I went with the Fujifilm XP90 camera and have for a reasonable sized bag both of which i also managed to get as christmas presents  

[Tour 1 and flight options]

I'm on Tour 1. First time so booked flights early (cost me more annoyingly). I'm going LHR to Dallas via Denver on the 8th and staying overnight at the hotel. Direct flight going back thankfully

[Advice]

Hello all, I'm very excited to be on tour 1 for next year. Just looking for advice from previous storm chasers on a few things. I am looking to buy a new camera but would also like to record video so was unsure if i should buy a combi or buy a camcorder separately. I'm certainly no professional so top spec/expensive no need. Also while i'm asking, what size holdall is acceptable to bring along? as you can tell i have some shopping to do!!!!
