We had a pretty good 1st night at Lostock, however we all noticed lightning activity to the east off the coast during the early evening. I climbed the eastern ridge around midnight to grab this shot.
We got hit pretty hard from around 3.30am for about 3 hours.
it was forming directly overhead then moving in your direction. I did think of those with gear setup and also who would be snapping some fantastic lightning shots
Great shot!
You guys got a few close strikes.
There appears to have been a lot of activity to the west in the wide view.

Hi Davin, it's from Blitzortung.org which is a user participation network.
The maps above are from Lightningmaps.org which is a sister site to the network created by one of the participants.
