Missed the storm this morning (if it got to Guildford). Love storms though. Just been spitting a bit here on and off today. As long as tomorrow is dry, it's all good.

We got really hammered by the storm yesterday afternoon. Were down at Robsom Racing in Shipston on Stour getting a new front tyre when it started. It was so windy the trees were almost horizontal, and the rain was lashing down. We then had to ride in that to Cheltenham as our friends were having a house-warming do. No waterproofs and a brand new front....lovely

Worse though was coming home at 2am. Fog so thick on the Fosse Way that you couldn't see more than 10ft

Was stuck in it on the M3.

It was sunny when I left London so I didn't have my waterproofs.

My jeans were minging & my leather jacket leached purple stuff all over my white t-shirt.

Could see about 10 foot in front of me. Hooked up with some other bikers on the motorway & we filtered through the slow moving traffic together, looking like drowned puppy dogs.

My gloves are still drenched & my hands now smell a bit like rotting meat, hmm...meat.

I was out with the TA playing soldiers in the middle of Salisbury Plain and got absolutely soaked, it was so bad the exercise was stopped for an hour and a half cos we lost all comms cos of the lightening.
