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.


Likewise sheltered here at home with a F4-F5 and strong gusts. But on my 11
mile walk this morning above 450 metres it was horrendous, lashing rain and
a near gale, could barely stand on Hay Tor summit where locally it was
touching severe gale 9. But the spot is very exposed.
