JK Relay forecast

Postby SeanC » Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:15 pm

Might be worth making sure your club is bringing a tent. Monday's forecast doesn't look so good. :( Though the other days look OK (showers fri, sat; sunny sunday).

.... and a good supply of long/strong tent pegs, by the look of those winds! :shock:

It took mabout a dozen people to hold down the tent at Penhale and even more to get some pegs in the ground. The poles of our brand new tunnel tent never recovered!! At least we'd been warned not to put it up overnight in case it blew away :roll:

For those that are using natural navigation, the horizontal rain is forecast to be orientated SSW - NNE.

... and if you run for 10 minutes with the wind behind you, then turn round and run for 10 minutes with the wind in your face, you will be.... still a long way from getting back to assembly. :wink:
