Hi, Paul,

New AWS system or old one? Two gusts up to 55KT(64mph) here so far with
max 10min at 35KT(41mph). I expect the worst / best will come when the
wind veers to around 250 degrees with some Pennine lee waves, currently
it is 200deg.

I see the Gt Dun Fell 17Z ob was 23075KT(86mph) no max gust mentioned!!
If that comes down here, Copley will be no more!
