Forecast is changing all the time!

Met Office: Basildon: forecast

Met office now reporting only a light rain shower around noon.......but 28mph winds!!!!!

XCWeather reporting totally different though!

Wind Map - Britain

I've always found the Metoffice site pretty accurate though.

Be good to see you Phil...

Eat more pies this week, you'll be needing the ballast next weekend if we have winds like we did to day. lol

Had an absolutely awesome day today, first time harnessed up and got on with it a treat. Got some huge air today just messing about static and covered well over 10 miles in the buggy. Only one OBE today when i actually got lifted clean out of the buggy and hovvered above it doing well over 20mph lol. Thankfully just a gentle skiddy landing but a bit hairy now i have no means of dumping the kite if it all goes wrong.

Cheers to everyone that came down today, cracking day with hopefully some cracking pics to follow soon
