Paul_B Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We had a steady stream of rain this morning then it brightened up, in the last half hour its belted it down and now its brightening up again, however we've had next to no wind. but we're in a rain shadow area and we can see lots of blackness on the horizons, or as we put it "it's looking black over bill's mothers" Quote Paul B . .......Mondeo Estate & Elddis Avanté 505 (Tobago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still raining here and have yet to open up the bedding lockers to see if the breath-holes took water in. geoff Quote Kia Sorento KX-1 CRDI 4WD towing an Elddis Affinity 530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coachman Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's beautiful blue skies here in Ayrshire, only problem is you have to go to 10,000 feet to be above the rain clouds to see it We were hoping to get away for the weekend but just got too much work on with my driveway extension to give the caravan more space.

poolebob Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Rained as we hitched up, then had to drive for four hours through heavy rain. Almost found out if caravans aquaplane. Fortunately had eased off a bit when we arrived and pitched. Off to Scotland tomorrow and heavy winds forecast. Poolebob Quote Honda CRV Diesel Petrol & No caravan now.

Honk Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 A topic title like that is going to get me warning points or divorced if Bertha gets hold of my laptop. For your information, she passed over me this morning and her wind was not as bad as predicted and the heavy shower was more of a quick swill. As she usually leaves a wreck behind her, I can be found on the sofa with a Brandy to bring back my senses. H.

Cherokee2015 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Apparently here in Hull they had a mini tornado, very heavy rain with thunder and lightening - flooding and trees over. We missed that as we were over in West Yorkshire which just had heavy rain. However, back in Hull now the wind is really picking up so she's probably on her way!

Marks Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I'm in Leicester, I had the van home from storage for the weekend to do some jobs, well this morning it was raining like I haven't seen in a long time, typical I thought, I also had to get new tyres and had arranged with Costco in Leicester to bring it in, so I had to ready the van in torrential rain, wheel locks, steadies, ehu etc, got absolutely soaked in the process and set off, within the hour the sun was out, grrrrrr. PS. See post on tyres from Costco, interesting. Edited August 10, 2014 by Marks Quote Land Rover Discovery and Conquerer 630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
