I've been out with my anononanameter down here in the relative shelter of the cottage and the readings are gradually increasing - we have a wind speed of around 25-30 meters per second with the strongest gust so far being 54.2m/s. That's 121 mph or 195kph. Which is windy. Even if the anemometer isn't dead accurate (and there's no reason to suspect it isn't) - it's still bloody windy.
The school were going to be holding their Celtic games this morning - but I think the weather has blown those plans out. Meanwhile we hunker down. The only real answer is to turn up the ipod - very loud - cos it's hellish scary listening to that wind. Setting Sun - Chemical Brothers - is a great fillip against the wind.

Well ok - so this post is all bollox on account of not using the anemometer properly. Another example of chromosomal deficiencies perhaps.
But it was windy honest!
Numpty. I'll get my kitebuggy up there this year methinks.
Happy Birthday last Friday, Jussi.

'proolus' - someone with no evidence to back up their wild claims.
Thanks, Mike!
Aye cheers Boyo - it would be good to see you up here again. Enjoy your jaunt South and knee keith in the bollox from me!
121 mph isn't unheard of here. However at that speed you wouldn't be able to walk or stand for that matter. This particular day, the highest i clocked was 66mph. Gentle breeze by caithness standards. Lol
