South Oxfordshire. It's just south of Wallingford, which itself is just
south of RAF Benson.

You, hopeless?! Are you helpless and hapless as well? Somehow I don't
think so! ;-)

Yay well done Malcolm! Time for a bigger pole?
Cholsey is between Didcot and Firing, isn't it?

I was going to say - Firing? Yup it's there alright.

Hoping to get a bigger pole soon. That's a long wooden thing, not a
person from Poland.

Aha I thought I'd seen the name whizzing past the window whenever
I get a train to Reading - which is pretty rare these
days.
Good luck with the re-siting!!

Chess players will, of course, have heard of the "dreaded Goring gambit"
(white gives up two pawns for raking white and black bishops and an attack).
Sorry OT now, lovely sunny morning and another dry day in the offing here on
Dartmoor.

LOL I did know that you weren't into Poles Malcolm! It is not so much the
pole rather the location and exposure (which most people are stuck with). I
learned a long time ago that very few home sites can be perfect and you are
where you are after you have done your best. My anemo is 3 metres and is
well exposed to all except N quadrant where it is affected by trees. I also
cannot record sunshine as sun disappears behind the sloping ground to the
west later in the day. Temperature and rainfall are the key items to get as
best you can.

Yes, I'm trying to decide where the best exposure is in the garden.
Currently it's on a pole about a metre high and surrounded on three
sides by a high fence and two sheds. I aim to raise it over one of the
sheds. But having a Fine Offset (the Maplin one) it's a compromise
because of the leads from the rain gauge and anemo. But it's only fun so
I mustn't take it too seriously!
