The next morning we were awoken at 6:55am by what can only be termed as “Rolling Thunder” we were aware that just over Wales the warm air from the Continent was going to come up against cold air from the Atlantic and cause thunderstorms, well it did, right above our caravan, a thunderstorm that was continuous boom-boom-boom of thunder for about 12 minutes, when one clap stopped the next started… and there was some large sized hail and a lot of rain thrown in as well – quite noisy on a tin tent roof !
