Here are a few pics from a couple of weeks ago on the way to Compton Abass. First picture is a thunder cloud more or less over Goodwood, the lightning looked amazing in the cloud. The rain is clearly visable in the centre/right of the picture.

Second picture is straight ahead seconds later with heavy rain clearly visable just off the Isle of Wight. We were lucky, we hardly went off course at all, just slightly around the thunder one but not much. Luck of the draw that day really, If we had left taking off by about 20 mins, we wouldn't have been able to go up. Once up it wasn't too bad to be honest. A bit choppy now and again and I am certain we would have headed strait back if things got worse.
