al4x Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 if the farmers are unlucky this wet weather will set in before they've done too much. With some of the thunderstorms predicted it should lay some barley and wheat nicely then there will be some cracking shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 its on its way stuart,apparantly 2inches are meant to fall over the course of a day! not sure when tho, and you know you always rely on the weatherman SS I was up luton way tuesday about 4pm, one of the biggest thunderstorms I have ever seen in the UK. Sheets of rain, torrents of water running down the road with it getting over a foot deep in places. Loads of cars abandoned near to Luton. I pulled over and watched as some of the biggest hail I have seen here fell, aniseed ball sized and loads of it. More to come too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to come too one of the farms I shoot on is on the edge of Luton I'll have to pop up and see whats been flattened. Looks good for the weekend. Local news is saying theres still schools closed in Luton due to hail damage and flooding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Peas been harvested here for the last 2/3 weeks. Had some pretty good bags before and after they've been lifted. Barley's next, that might start this w/e depending upon the weather. So far we've not had any bad weather of late (and it would have to be bad) to knock over much. Future's bright and it ain't orange its Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
