With a few bookings recently we are down to the last few spaces now - So if your thinking about a chase trip in 2016 with Netweather now is the time to jump forward.

 

Tour 1 - Good availability

Tour 2 - Sold Out

Tour 3 - 1 Space Left

Tour 4 - Almost sure this tour is sold out or will be

 

70 Days until I am stateside setting up the lovely brand new cars for you lovely people so this will fly by.

Unfortunately I'm now not going to be doing T4 :(, but I will be back again in 2017.  I seem to like chasing in odd numbered years anyway... 2013, 2015

Looking forward to watching and ready all the reports and seeing the photos

Yes   that was an unfortunate year to go chasing.  I couldnt go that year because my daughter was getting married but i followed my friends whilst they were out there.   what a torrid time chasers had that year. i would log on and see the same surface analysis. the jet stream was flowing north to south right down the centre of the plains.  No sir, not been a year like it since.    Some poor/dry years but 2006 was not good.

hi Tom. I just hope that i'm not a jinx. this is the first time i can afford it again and it will be ten years since, so i hope its doesn't occur every ten years :S

We are a positive team and you will not be a jinx. We will get you to see sights that you have never seen and will want to see over and over again.

its not too bad! just means you COULD be getting off a plane after a 10 hour journey and getting in to a car for a few hours!  might be worth seeing if you cna change to the 16th flight? Best western hotel for the night of the 16th is around £50 and you can get  a days rest.  i think its about £100 to change your flight but its all down to you of course!

Crashlanding we don't start chasing till the 18th anyway do we? ten day tour arrive on the 17th chase from the 18th to the 27th leave on the 28th? my return flight is on the 28th

If the weather permits we can have a "bonus" chase day on the official arrival date. Last year we did on T2, all but one person arrived the day before and they just tagged along after they landed! :)

Don't worry. I was the one that tagged along last year after arriving on arrival day, only missed a close lightning strike.
