Insane hail storms today - hard enough to cover the ground in 1cm of hail in 2 minutes flat

Mad - I was logging at the time then took shelter in a tin roofed barn. It was LOUD in there!

Man I love extreme weather, such a powerful thing to be immersed in.

Red your pic sums up perfectly the weather here today, i was walking the kids home from school nice blue skies one minute next thing stinging hail and white out.

I LOVE how a tiny bit of snow in England grind everything to a halt. I had the whole of Ashdown Forest to myself.

Didn't stop me logging up Smith - but I did wait it out - it was so slippery underfoot that it was dodgy as h3ll using a 3.5hp saw. Just shoved it out the way with a broom afterwards. It only lasted like 5 minutes but it was BIG hail - like pea sized lumps. Quite funny as I was wearing a chainsaw helmet with visor - so I bet it stung me less than Andy

you bet right, my son and me put up our hoods my youngest daughter doesnt have one on her jacket so she had to grin and bare it!

Hi Hog, is the pic of the tree taken on the Island mate? only I took a ride out and had a walk in 88/89 when I was over and it looks familiar. Long time ago now so haven't a clue where it was just remember a stream and nice woodland walk in the shade away from the crowds,bliss.

Booked up for this years TT BTW and will be trying to find some of those stone circles on the non race days. Should keep me out of Bushy's tent and good for a while

Cheers,Dave.

Hi Dave. The tree is in one of the glens, Groudle Glen I think its called.
You should be able to get a map of a lot of the places of interest , not hard to find ones way around the island.
