For anybody that remembers the big storm at Cooden....

[Smiffy]

Pure coincidence.
I was just browsing YouTube this morning, and came across this video.....

Saw the date (14th July) and just thought I'd check the date of the Cooden meet that year out of curiosity....

I'd love the lightning storm to come in again. Luckily it started to roll in after we'd finished playing and we all stood outside watching it approach from over the channel. It was absolutely awesome, one of the most dramatic storms I have ever witnessed.

Remember on the patio under a massive umbrella, think with Rich and Wookie. It certainly was impressive.
Remember being worried about Slasher on the trip home, after getting diverted for an accident. As he'd left earlier then most and wasn't renowned for his safe driving

and wasn't renowned for his safe driving

With car or club?

Storm?
Pah, I've seen bigger storms in a bit of light drizzle on the Torpoint ferry ?

Try the Bay of Biscay in a Force 9 when you get thrown up by a goffer ? and then hit another one on the way down ??

Errr......... we weren't on a boat.
And I was talking more of the intensity of the electrical storm

I remember that evening well. I'd have loved to go storm chasing in the US

Sounds familiar. It was a horrific drive home with standing water all over the place. I remember swapping notes with @Oxfordcomma at the BP at the bottom of the A23 about the utter morons taking on the blind overtakes.

Was that the night Slasher and I, possibly more got stuck on the main road for an hour after someone had a massive accident? I think we left before the storm really bit, and saw it all from the cars, while waiting for the road to open.

Yes mate, I left after you guys and was diverted around it.
