Storm stuff

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Did you enjoy the walk up steep hill.. My youngest absolutely hates it when we walk up bless her constantly moans her legs are to small to get to the top ?

But it's a mighty fine site the cathedral when your up there. Another's good view is up at Bomber command looking directly across the old flight paths tonthe cathedral.

We were staying in The Rest - half way up Steep Hill (recommended). So on Sunday morning we only had the top half to clamber up. We were solitary walkers up the hill and were fair pechin' when we got to the top. There was barely a soul about. Maybe half dozen folks braving the elements in the whole area between the cathedral and the castle. Most of the shops were closed - a couple of cafes open. But what a location.

Not sure there is that much else to Lincoln though (the storm and rain prevented us having a longer look around), and a local we engaged in conversation (well she engaged with us) outside the cathedral (she heard my accept and that was that - she's lived a long time in Edinburgh and Glasgow) commented that Lincoln was a bit of a 'one horse town'. Now that may be unfair - but sure as heck that castle and cathedral horse is a pretty fine specimen.

The surfer rescued from the stormy sea off Hastings yesterday - wot the heck!"! And the lifeboat nearly capsized wot the absolute heck!£?

i'll raise you the 3 twats who had to be rescued from Ben Nevis last night by ASR, wearing Trainers. bad enough going up there in Feb full stop but when there where weather warning for the last week this storm was coming and wearing Trainers up there in summer is bad enough

I rode in the Lincoln GP a couple of times, riding up that hill a fair few times with thin tyres on the cobbles was a killer

Im not 100% sure what else lincoln has to offer other than a pretty epic Cathedral and big links historical and current to the RAF either if im honest. Been here just over 14 months now and apart from being wet a lot of the time in not sure what else it really offers. Much prefer my home County of Kent.

I haven't watched it yet but Robin Matthews-Williams looks to have posted a video of him playing in the storm on Sunday. That should be good.

intrigued so had a look, couldn't see much evidence of said storm, not so much as a tree moving

Pretty dull pointless video in my view. Not watched his stuff before, probably won't bother again.

Mother in law's house

So loss adjustor came to in law's today .. new wall being paid for 10k

What's more worrying is he looked up the speed of wind 62mph

He said anything below 55 they wouldn't pay out for?!! So they were luckily over that

we had some roof damage the last time we had high winds, water was coming in though the Sky light in the bit between the old park of the house and new, when we tried to claim, they check BBC weather and said we could't as it wasn't over 55 MPH... won't be using them for Insurance naxt time

£1.35bn Queensferry Crossing built to replace Forth Road Bridge closed again for at least two days because of falling ice from the cables! FFS it is winter in Scotland, what do the planners expect? Absolute chaos on the roads today.
