For Firing read Goring!! Autocorrect!!

I was going to say - Firing? Yup it's there alright.

Hoping to get a bigger pole soon. That's a long wooden thing, not a
person from Poland.

LOL I did know that you weren't into Poles Malcolm! It is not so much
the pole rather the location and exposure (which most people are stuck
with). I learned a long time ago that very few home sites can be perfect
and you are where you are after you have done your best. My anemo is 3
metres and is well exposed to all except N quadrant where it is affected
by trees. I also cannot record sunshine as sun disappears behind the
sloping ground to the west later in the day. Temperature and rainfall
are the key items to get as best you can.

Yes, I'm trying to decide where the best exposure is in the garden.
Currently it's on a pole about a metre high and surrounded on three
sides by a high fence and two sheds. I aim to raise it over one of the
sheds. But having a Fine Offset (the Maplin one) it's a compromise
because of the leads from the rain gauge and anemo. But it's only fun so
I mustn't take it too seriously!
