    Wow that supercell photo is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

    I have finally had time to go through all the weekends photos.

    On Saturday I chased on foot in the fields around my girlfriends parents house at Warthill, east of York. I got drenched as I took a direct hit and had nowhere to shelter. It was actually quite scary as some CGs started getting closer and I had nowhere to hide. I didn't manage to get any lightning photos because it was raining too much, but I did get one still from a video which is below, and I'm happy with the other photos I got. I've always wanted to get photos of corn fields with an angry storm behind.

    So here are Saturdays photos...

    So now onto Sunday. There was a very nice storm building near York heading north, it was going to pass to the west of here so I had an idea that Sutton Bank might be a good place to go to see it pass by as the views from up there are amazing. I spent about 3 hours up there, and watched three storms in total. The final one was intensifying close to me, there was some very impressive rotation and a short lived funnel. It was only small but probably my best UK funnel cloud. I was praying it would come down further as I had such a perfect view. Again lightning photography opportunities were limited. The storms were mostly too far away to see the lightning.

    Here are a few photos...

    So a very pleasing weekend, and it was a good time to come to my GFs parents house, it's been a good base.

    No chasing plans today, got to head back to Nottingham sometime, but my old home in the North East looks in the firing line today.

    nice pics Mark thanks for sharing

    Well the wigan storm shield has some power it stood its ground . nothing can break it just a few faint rumbles and thats yer lot

    But.....I was having non of it , drove away from here, about 6 miles east where I saw a few vivid cg's spitting out from the storm and a few booms , the storm went towards manchester, it must have know it would be death for it at wigan

    nice lightning in the dark clouds,

    I said that about the North East shield, look whats happened in the last two months, 3 supercells converge on the north east and todays cell, I can say that our shield has finally been broken ;
