Went out in bright sunshine, down the 338 to Hungerford, then on towards Tidworth. Pulled in before heading across Salisbury Plain and stood for a moment looking at a foc-off great, dark angry cloud with an anvil top and just a solid wall of black underneath it....hmmm, that's right across my route :\ Hang on a sec... it's headed right this way! :eek Run away, run away!! :lol
So went back the way I came, and went through two major sleet storms; had to wipe the visor literally every couple of seconds and the road was actually white with icy ball-bearings, BUT.........every time I hit one of the best twisty bits, the road was dry and the sun came out :b
But there were some very dodgy looking storms about. I wanted to stop to take some snaps of them, but I was busting for a piss so legged it home :rolleyes
