1550 local 3/10/04

ROFL. Moderate rain most of the afternoon up here, now verging on heavy.
Total so far 8.9 mm but the way it's sheeting down ATM that will continue to
rise. Not very windy max. gust 22 knots (3.5m agl). Not very cold either at 12.7
deg C. Cloud base lowering, Haytor rocks out of sight.

From the gateway to Hound Tor :-)

Not much rain up here just blowing in the wind this afternoon enough
to make the cars drip but not much more.

Not very windy max. gust 22 knots

Wots that in English rather than Mariner?

We are starting to get windy, steady build from F4 at 1700 to F7 at
2000, odd gust above 40mph. Pressure, wind and temp have been fairly
steady for the last hour (to 2100). Temp has also been rising now
about 12C.

Looking at a Dartmoor Explorer map I reckon you are in Haytor Vale so
perhaps you are quite protected by Haytor itself?
The photo of your family home on your website shows a mighty tall
chimney stack on the bay window side!

Hi Robin,

Yes we are very protected by rising ground to the west. All damaging gales I
have experienced so far have been from the east quadrant where I have had slates
ripped off. We are 30m up the hill from Haytor Vale which is extremely
sheltered, even in an easterly. In a due easterly there is nothing much between
me and Belgium !

Cheers,

Will.
