Actually, I've just checked my forecast for today and it said 20 knots at the moment, and Force 4-5 all day.... Spot on if you ask me, not 12/15 less than predicted...

I'll be around this but it looks better for surfing than wind-driven sports...

I went over to the beach a few times today while Dunk was out, but it was only about 16 knots (which is smack bang in between Force 4 and Force 5) so I didn't bother going out as I'm still suffering with a cold and it wasn't worth making myself feel any worse.

will be up late friday night, and hey if there is no wind still coming up. i mean what a place to be at far better than the urban society with all its toxic gasses, speed traps, muggers etc as appossed to clean air, clean beach, no restrictions and so much space, oh ye and friendly people. oh man i love the weekend. see ya in heaven!!!!!

Andy mate your'e an addict suffering from withdrawl symptoms, youv'e only been away from the beach for one weekend and look want it's done to you.

You have made it sound like you live in inner city Brum rather than Oswestry Suppose thinking about it not much difference, except they don't get sheep rustling in Brum.

Have a good weekend whatever the wind does, off to Turkey tomorrow so see you all in couple of weeks

Ave a couple of scrumpy jacks for me.

Cheers!
