Amazing weather lately, winter seems a distant memory. Unfortunately, by heading off on holiday over Easter, I’ve managed to miss much of this precious settled period. Plus (and this really grates) I have to go to work Monday to Friday, when I’d much rather be paddling. I do hope that the sunshine lasts to the weekend, so that I can get back out on the water …
Metcheck…’What a remarkable first half to the month of April.
Some parts of the country, especially across England and Wales, are now approaching 3 weeks without any significant rainfall at all. The longevity of the dry weather and also the recent heat has been quite exceptional for the time of year.
It’s fantastic how the weather works. It was only a few months ago the UK was being lashed with gales and rain as part of a very wet and very mild winter. Three whole months were generally dominated by wet and windy conditions, then in the blink of an eye high pressure appears.’
Which is what winds me up about Metcheck, Its been nearly 6 weeks since I was in my creek boat on anything worth paddling. Suddenly this sea kayaking lark is becoming more appealing…. Hope the book is plodding on ok!
Well Tom, if you are free in the last week of July or first week of August, I could use some company along the coast…
