An amazing night on Malin Head experiencing incredible thunderstorms... thunder and lightening right on top of the van and torrential rain hammering down. I was snug as bug in my van 'nest' wrapped up in the duvet... Dr Fred wasn't quite so lucky. The rain was so bad it penetrated the seal on the hatchback of the van and slowly dripped on his head! He was able to wear one of the six hats he brought... hasn't found a use for the five pairs of gloves yet...
As we travelled to the nonexistant no longer running ferry advertised everywhere as every ten minutes all year round to then have to go back and drive right round the estuary...we encountered more rain and more wild thunder and lightening.... maybe this is the weather changing... maybe those gloves will come in handy....
The second half of the week continued in much the same vein. We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows. It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland, it wasn't as bad as it could be.
