Sunday 5th Feb - Fly-in Venue Changed - Walmer

[ekim]

Update!
Venue for this Sunday changed to the beach behind the borrowpit at Walmer


Forecast for The Lade currently showing as 6 degrees feels like 1, sunny no rain, wind N 20 - 26mph

As things stand unless this wind speed forecast reduces somewhat I am not over keen to traipse all the way to The Lade to be blown frozen.

I will make a decision later should the forecast change

Sorry, I won't be able to join you due to a pressing engagement

OK current forecast according to BBC weather 8 degrees feeling like 5 wind NW 10mph (gentle breeze - 10mph is a little more than gentle breeze in my opinion) Sunnny periods with low chance of precipitation.

Is anyone venturing out this Sunday? don't want to travel that far to fly by myself.

Wind prediction is a Northerly so Palm Bay is a no-no for me. I won't have finished my duties until 12 noon so I won't be on the road until 12.30 making the Lade far too far for me.
I hope to spend a couple of hours relaxing with my kites at the Borrowpit.
Enjoy the Lade whoever decides to go there.

I am (unfortunately, didn't want to be!) still around this weekend, so I hope to join Peter at the Borrowpit again. Probably nearer 1.30, give Peter time to get there.
BBC forecast for Deal is very much as for the Lade, with a NW wind of 11mph (Force 3). Mainly sunny.

Met Office, on the other hand, forecast 7C feeling like 3C, wind N or NE, 15-17 mph (force 4) gusting 20-23mph (force 5). Mainly sunny.

Shipping forecast inshore waters says NE 4 - 5, veering SE 2 - 4. Fair (ie, as nice as it gets!). Good visibility, so we can admire the French coast.

Take your pick of that lot. I'll have a lie-in tomorrow as I've done my local forecast duties!

With Steve & Sue unavailable this weekend I am going to change the venue and head off back to Walmer to join those there.

A lovely afternoon although somewhat chilly wind. Had a good time with Peter, Steve P and lighthouse Janet putting a little colour in the Walmer sky. Another half hour of daylight makes such a difference!
