ThermalBoy Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi Guys As always we wont make a call on whether the comp will go ahead or not until the day before the comp when the weather forecasts become pretty accurate as to what weather we can expect on the day of the comp, ie Sunday. A final on or off decision will be posted here on this thread by 12:00 hours latest tomorrow. Colin/Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Member Nick Jackson Posted October 27, 2018 Committee Member Share Posted October 27, 2018 Pity it's had to be cancelled but good call. Could we have flown? Maybe. And all winter to do the resulting repairs. Would we have enjoyed it? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamon Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Nooooooooo shame we couldn’t move it rather than cancel, but forecast isn’t great and already have loads of repairs for the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Duff Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Guys, Thank you for trying to re-arrange the comp and sorry the weather beat you in the end. A lot of work for little reward. But thanks again for your efforts and trying to put something in the comp calendar for us - it is appreciated. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eamon Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Paul, it’s called PredictWind.com, there is an app too. Free for two locations, pay to add more. i just use two and change them as the comp locations change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives several readings, and in general they are pretty close, but as with all, they do become more accurate the closer you get to the day. I have found that if you can use their locations rather than custom ones, you get a more detailed prediction, but in either case it is my go to wind chart.

I also use VentuSky - interesting graphical representation of the forecast, but the numbers in PredictWind.com look very useful.
