Fairly typical on such a route at this time of year. When the wind turns NWly, the warm surface temperatures meet cold air from the N Sea and creates the convection.
If you don't mind bumping along below the base, it's not a bad day for VFR, but IFR in a non-pressurized aircraft dodging icy tops can be stressful. O2 helps.
