..but um 2 storms and gale force wind throughout with tents getting blown over is not good weather for me, would be so nice in sun and calm… maybe next year…
My mates what went didn’t mention any of this but they are local so perhaps didn’t notice it.
There certainly were storms and wind (NL got even worse, on radioforum.nl some unfortunate folk had a big lightning strike to their studio, it burned out the circuit board on their audio processing kit), but this event was held in East Anglia and you cannot avoid either, even in high summer…
The wind was force 3/4 BTW, takes a bit more before its classed as a gale. if it had got really bad the event would be locked off like the Suffolk Show was. I did even receive the weather map last weekend to check but looked at it and thought “nah, nothing remarkable here” though as someone who moved to this region from SE/London I can understand how it might be a bit of a shock to encounter even normal weather conditions influenced by the North Sea.
Ironically there were complaints in todays local news that the weather forecasters were scaring away visitors from SE England!
