Default West Cornwall - Severe Gales

Strongest gusts I've seen so far are 84mph at Culdrose & 81mph 1.5
miles ESE of Land's End. I don't know if anyone has any figures for
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.)

It was still difficult to stand at times, Sevenstones still reporting
Severe Gale 9 & 21' swell.

No surfers in this morning, a great rarity on a Sunday, it's simply far
too dangerous.

Plenty of debris on the roads, with an entire tree almost blocking the
road at Tregonebris, half way between Penzance & Land's End.

This is more what winters used to be like in the '90s.

Graham
Penzance
