Hi, Norman,
I was just about to post that!
20 miles east and 2,000ft lower, current Copley a tad more pleasant, but
still very unpleasant and a gale 10min 12:40Z WSW 38G50KT with driving rain.

Nothing like that in Tideswell. Hunkered down in our N/S valley we've had
nothing more than Force 6 with gusts to 35 knots but I can hear the wind
roaring through the trees on the crest of the ridge about 250 yards to the west
and about 100 feet higher up.

I wonder just how much windier it would be on Cross Fell? Just 148 feet (2930 feet compared with 2782 feet) in it I know. I notice that it was meaning 76 gusting 99 kts from 270° at 1300 UTC, I bet it's whistling round Greg's hut a bit at the moment.
