MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just found this pic today. It's the family Van circa 1979 and I think it's the lakes. The story with this photo is shortly after it was taken as my dad had the boot open and I was sat in the drivers seat with the door open a massive wind came out of nowhere, slammed the door shut on my Dad and then sucked me out! I remember hanging on to the steering wheel with my 4 year old legs being pulled out, Mum freaking, then it just stopped and I plopped onto the road. As we drove down we saw a twister going across a lake! I secretly hoped it had been a tornado that tried to pull me!
Anyways, does the foramistas know the location, and how likely my fantasy is?

It does indeed! Nice one. Do tornados fly down the pass?
 I plopped onto the road.
It must've been scarey. 😯
Yes probably, not on the road mind.
I distinctly recollect seeing a small whirlwind thing on a blustery day on Catbells above Derwen****er when I was a kid. It was quite small, not a tornado or anything, but it was still pretty amazing, whirling grass and leaves around and whatnot.
Foot of Honister Pass, the Buttermere side looking East (well, sort of ESE)
Sweet,that seals it. I can now tell my grandchildren that I was sucked out of a split screen on Honister pass by a tornado.
Daily mail backs up possibility.
