Well, here's my first attempt at posting some pics, no doubt it'll go horribly wrong :D

after a bit of umming and ahhing we (that is, self and designated driver) decided to pootle out this evening after a rather nice storm which came into view around 7.30pm. Best route was up the A47 towards Norwich then across country towards Aylsham, with a few minor alterations as the plan was not to get swallowed up by the exceedingly heavy rain and stay on it's SE side. Closer inspection showed two distinct cells - the first of which was probably almost at Cromer before we left, such was the size (see radar for details :D) After almost 2hrs we turned for home, mainly because I was very hungry, having abandoned the whole dinner thing....and partly because further driving would leave us somewhere in the North Sea unsure.gif

Despite a complete lack of activity it was very photogenic and rewarded us with some excellent pics, although no anvil was visible as a final late evening shower developed south of us and effectively obliterated any further views.

First couple were taken at home....

The rest are from the A47 south of Norwich and on towards Aylsham and Cromer :)

Love this tormented sky look :)

Nice pics!

I was in Bawburgh yesterday evening and could just about see that lot through the trees to the north. Would have liked to have got out with the camera too!

I think it's just scud - we were parked up in a layby on the A47 and I walked back to find a decent gap in the trees but didn't hang about due to cars whistling past at 80 mph, so didn't really spend time having a good look :)
