Well, after so much cloud over the last 10 days or so, at least there
is some sunshine, but very windy. Force 5 here, but a good force 6 on
west facing coasts with gusts well 40mph. (There is a regular reader
of USW camping out above Gwenver (near Land's End) and I've just
received a call to say the tent is just about hanging on!)


My tent collapsed in June on Skye, so I wish him luck!
Very gusty up here too. Just come back from Bovey Tracey where road was part
closed due to a big branch blown off a tree. Several smaller branches down
on road going down into the village. Bovey is in the lee and occasionally
gets rotors in a WSW'ly. Wind only a force 4-5 up on the higher moor at
Postbridge.
