Watched him a while.. not too sure but think I recognised that name... and he was good...
annabelle:
:D Yes, it was Jez Avery and he is very skilled and funny, just before the "cyclone" kicked in he was encouraging people to stay and watch - "If I leap 10 to 15 feet in the air, its not part of the act, I have been struck by lightning!". Thanks for the invite for tea in your tent Graham, why don't you think about a caravan? They don't blow away!

I used to watch him between 10 & 15years at the bike shows & races, sounds like he's still as entertaining
Evilgoat:
Was sat in my gazebo with Colin (ninety) when we spotted the black clouds.
I think I twent something like
Wow, look at them Anvil clouds...
They are moving a bit fast...
Hmm, that clouds starting to move like a cyclone...
This isnt goin to be good.
2 mins to lock bikes, stow generator, get what I could into the tend, throw a few things under Jake's awning then BAM down it game. Just hung in there with a power cord tied to the top of the Gazebo and a beer :)
Did three or four laps with Old Joe to offer some assistance but no-one seemed to know what was going on, when we did they were downright rude, so went and tried to dry off.
I dont think I have ever seen weather like that in the uk. It was very very close to a tornato, would have touched down in the top meadow.
As it was, 4 trees down, one trashed 110, one crushed caravan and Micra and two trees about to come down, lots of tents and marquees airborne :)
Importantly, no-one was hurt past a few bumps.
On a POsitive note. That Trailblazers 110 was trashed beyond recovery, the chassis has been distorted and its due to go on Expedition tomorrow. Atlas Overland stepped in and offered then indefinate loa of one of their veichles and went off Sat evening to prepare it. Now thats generosity.
