Sounds like a nice leisurely summers day ride today :blink:

"During Sunday further heavy, thundery showers are likely to develop in some eastern parts of the UK. Many places within the warning area could stay dry. However where storms do occur, torrential downpours are possible with lightning, hail and perhaps locally strong wind gusts. The public should be aware of the risk of surface water flooding or localised flooding from fast-responding urban watercourses. "

Sounds like our standard weatherman arse covering prediction for what we used to call 'the odd thunder storm' back in the day

Doubt you'll see more than a flash of thunder & three spots of rain …….at worst you might have to shelter under a bridge for fifteen minutes.

Have a good day Kym

:rotflmmfao:

All I can say is, Studley did a good job with the coils. ;)

Started Benrinnes in sunshine, fog on the north coast, mist near Fraserburgh, then light rain from then on to St Andrews, then warm weather to Dunbar.

Wanted to make it around the coast & south of Edinburgh in Sunday traffic, stayed Dunbar.

Bugger!

I will be in the city that day.

I'll be travelling back from Leeds on Tuesday (29th) afternoon via the M1.

 

What are the chances of meeting up on the way past where ever you are?
