The Great British Weather

Pfffft, London doesn't really do Weather does it? Bit wetter, bit warmer, bit whatever. Having spent 340 days a year for as long as I can remember there I'd forgotten what real weather was like... Till I drove across exmoor last night. Bloody hell. Sheets of horizontal rain so torrential that even if it hadn't have been for the sheets of fog visibility wouldn't have been more than a few metres. It was lashing down, howling wind rocking the car, thick fog and clouds of leaves, twigs and other stuff flying horizontally across the road. It was cool and spooky for a bit but after a while I started to get a little uncomfortable when visibility was so bad I was staying on the road purely by picking out the next cat's eye.

I've had a few bike rides like that ... :)
