Strongest gusts I've seen so far are 84mph at Culdrose & 81mph 1.5

Gwennap Head or The Lizard.

Just got back from Sennen, walked to the bottom of Pedn-Men-Du (1 mile
from Land's End) and took a few photos - see
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/Pedn.html. (Apologies to locals for the
mis-spelling of Du on the website.)


Isn't that sea a lovely blue/turquoise colour even in a gale, almost
looks inviting :-) (After seeing Southend United yesterday !)


It did look good, I waited for the sun to catch it. I think all the
trapped air bubbles helps to give that colour.

Not inviting enough for anybody to jump in, which was a shame as it
would have given more idea of scale to the photos. (On the downside
they would probably now be dead!)
