MM Weathers got worse here, the last couple hours the winds been gusting really strong with heavy rain and it feels bloody cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Wind gusting very strongly here in St Helens, I also don't fancy another night of this. No damage that I can see yet other than pots and stuff blowing around the garden, I will wait till it's all stopped before I go out though.

Think its the first death reported, Lancashire, a man in his 40s died after a tree fell onto his van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 In our small part of Cumbria the wind got up yesterday about 1400, which made our last drive a belter, and by the time we got back to the bothy it was starting to rain, so the forecast was bang on, and it hasn’t stopped raining since, plus we now have high winds. Today’s shoot was cancelled due to the winds making it unsafe in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Had to cancel our shoot this morning. We left it until 9:30 and most of the beaters said they were not comfortable walking the woods, which is fair enough, this morning it was gusting hard, we lost our TV aerial, found it on next doors driveway. The farm we run the shoot on has over 10 trees down. The next village to us has had no power all day, think they've just had it back on. So N.somerset in places got hit hard.

Well you won't believe it , I went out around 3.45pm and it was dull but wasn't to bad , I went in the woods near mine and if anything the wind dropped even more to just a ordinary blow , rain was off and on and if I had felt better it would have been a good night down the marsh , mind you if I had gone I would had most likely ended up as part of the bag , funny enough I have got two duck breasts for tea tonight which was the last duck I shot , by the way old'un ,I had two longish walks today and apart from feeling a little tired both walks didn't create any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to here your feeling a bit better John. I shot the duck last Friday week ( first one in my 77th year ) , it have been cold in my garage so it didn't come to any harm , at the moment it is in the slow cooker on high and I will show you results when I have my tea around 7 . 30 .
