You will be if you get the Blades out - Severe weather warning of "Inland Gusts " up to 40mph

Looks like they will be for tommorow & calming down a little Sunday though

another testing day for me. Thanks to a hint from frayz though it got better towards the end.

oh went and see Col's new belly pan, and to be honest when he first showed me the design i though "what a pile of ****e" however seeing it in the flesh, it does look good. pics to follow and these really dont do it any justice.

Cool, cant wait to see it

Glad you felt a little better towards the end mate. It was a testing day in quite naughty conditions. Anyone that buggied today did well.
