Windsor Great Park visit 25th Nov 2006

(Bit late this blog but better late than never!)

Windsor Great Park in a thunder storm is very atmospheric, in a monsoon and thunder storm it is even more exciting!
We went for a short walk this morning as it was sunny down here in Denham, we ended up in the Great Park at Windsor…. again. A short while we arrived the heavens opened and we had a shower or two, nothing too exciting or worrying. But soon after the fourth or fifth shower the sky changed completely, the winds started and then the rain came. Boy, did it rain! We had the umbrella but that didn’t stop it soaking our legs and backs. Our heads escaped for a time,… but once the lightning started it seemed rather foolish to be walking round with a metal umbrella in the middle of a wooded area. One almighty clash of thunder and then the rain eased slightly as we, along with every other soaked walker, made a dash for cover in the car, soaking the seats and unable to see through the windscreen we waited a while. An adventurous morning’s walk!
