Nigel_W Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi all, due to differing forecasts on various weather sites (BBC, XC, Metcheck) we will make the call by lunchtime tomorrow. It does seem likely that the slope would be BoPeep. The wind may be light, and swing through the day, and there may be some rain/drizzle on the hill. The current clear entries that I have are below. If any of you do not fancy the look of the forecast given the travelling involved, please let me know by 10am tomorrow, as numbers will influence the decision.

JohnM Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Have to admit, i'm thinking there might be better opportunities for my first meeting, don't want to be the one that stops it happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_W Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thanks John, you definitely need to enjoy your first event, not find it a chore. I too was not keen on this evening's forecast which is why we've given it another day. We'll see if it gets much better tomorrow for the final call.

Nigel_W Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Having consulted with Graeme and JP, the forecast has continued to be too iffy for an F3F, given the travelling involved for some of us, so this event is being called off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Burgess Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Correct call especially as they (BBC TV) are now forecasting fog for Sunday Thanks to all those who tried to get us a comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Woollyback in Wales on the 27th (or 26th) will probably be your next opportunity. I’m just about to post the final details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve spent the last few days debating with myself whether it’s worthwhile to go to all that way for a one day event, so thanks Nigel. I can stop now.

Nigel_W Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Just a quick note to say the southern winter league event planned for 3rd Jan will not be going ahead due to the national coronavirus situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
