hidden cart in well trodden lead mine many miss, so much research on this place and i cant find a single sentence on this incline and what lays beyond...

hopefully one day we can revisit this with an ROV and reveal its secrets...

another great day with the team, always a pleasure.

Distant memories and black and white pictures, not even the land bears scars from something so substantial. Porth Penrhyn's narrow gauge rail not to be seen not even a line in the grass, credit to mother nature for claiming back what's hers no credit at all for us to allow a fantastic piece of history to be forgotten.

nice surprise night for weather watchers... small cellular system spotted making its way up towards the Llyn last night, seen this pattern many times so quick call to arms meet the gang and went last minute storm chasing!

blew the first image right out! air was so clear with no rain my first captured strike was much hotter than expected and so was lost in the highlights...

then the 2nd image was ruined by a petulant child with a laser pen 🤣🔦💚

and finally nice dangling arc under the cloud base with touch down over the wind farms, cell was moving away pretty quickly over the Wirral at this point but rapidly losing energy...

When the plan pays off from tracking the storm to finding a great spot to photograph it... makes it all worth it in the end, 64 mile round trip ❤️👌Great company too

Same place, completely different strike. Nature never repeats the same masterpiece twice. ⚡️

Was ready for an early night last night (Sunday 6th), but the storm app was showing some lightning strikes, so I met up with the lads, headed down to the pier with the cameras, and managed a lucky strike! It took patience, but capturing this lightning strike illuminating the clouds above Llandudno Pier was the perfect reward.
Definitely worth staying up for ⚡️🌩️⛈️

Hard to believe this place was a world player in slate distribution... Porth Penrhyn's narrow gauge rail responsible for delivering probably hundreds of thousand tonnes of slate to the port here to be sent by sea or back out on the LNWR line...

Check it out!!

Last night lightning over the Wirral, after the last minute rush got to the location just before the strikes made it overhead, all of it was wrapped in clouds with no visible bolts and nothing reaching the ground..... But as it passed over head the back of the cell cleared and blessed us with a good 10-15 minutes of open air strikes stretching the length of the Wirral!!

Success 😁🌩️ few stills in the bank phone recoding slow mo... So with said footage cleaned up a little here's a couple of last nights strikes.

OMG! worth the wait the rush the late night! quick cheeky pic from tonight's surprize storm over the Wirral, didn't think I would reach so far north but this little corner of the UK never fails to deliver!!

so been a while but gotcha again! :)
