Okay, Abi Doug and Freddie are off on Friday on the longest holiday they will have had in five years. After carefull planning to ensure the best condtions, this will be over the last week in July and First week and a bit in August.


So, here is a little poll to help us guess at what the weather will be like.... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It will start off very, very wet and fairly windy. Then the sun will come out for two days to lull you into a false sense of hope. Then the mother of all summer depressions will park itself over Milton Keynes and it will blow a hooley and rain like it was Vietnam in the monsoon, from Penzance to Oban. Lerwick might be nice though. Then, on the last day, the sun will come out and it will be gloriously warm and sunny, you'll have a fine sail home and it will stay that way for your first week back at work.

Good luck!

I was planning to do the same this w/e but have been "persuaded" by my other half to play safe and catch a plane to somewhere not so wet.

I'm leaving this week-end as well, and it looks like you have pinched all our wind! Give us some back, please, just a little? (Ah, and no East in it either, you can keep that one!).
