Forecast looks good on Sun PM too, rain clearing by 1, to give a strong westerly. Most of the campsites are not busy at the moment due to rain, so should be able to camp if anyone wants too.
Although Neil has left he is aiming to return on Sun.
Wind speeds both days look like the Paras will be permanently grounded.
Looks good guys!

Stop whining, its wales what do you expect :D
At least the winds in the right direction and after it blows through flying is going to be epic.
Mr Meade and the PSS guys are bringing down 'something heavy to maiden'.
Should be interesting!

A short vid of this years gower pilgrimage; certainly lucky with 2 weeks of strong westerlies; saw the first flights of the byhon, the pace, the vj and the m60. Also present was a stingray, opus, fox to name but a few. Jack was flying this Wild Thing and trying the M60.
