I remember going out to fix something in the dark, in cloud with a 60kn wind on GDF - it was interesting - nearly did not find my way back - that was the days of the old buildings before the radome was built. Great Days!



Hi, Andy,

Now I'm envious! I think it would be great to work there (for a while!) I go up there quite often, it's just 25 miles from Copley as the crow flies.

Seems to have peaked at W 81G98KT.

UMIST (as was) now University of Manchester had rooms up there for years firstly in the old building then in the new ones for the radome. I do not think they have much activity there these days - they had a great obs platform out to the west side built when the old one went with the new building work.
