Is that man sized wind, rather than those little breezes today?

If the wind is at 12mph, would anyone have something suitable for Simon to have a go at? And no a 7m whatever is not suitable, even if a little amusing

I think we're gonna go regardless. Be nice just to make a day of it in the sunshine with a picnic.
Bring a football/aerobie mate and we'll still have a laugh whatever.
