Sod going out tonight, I was out during the last storm in December, and that was ‘only' 40+mph winds - I was fishing the Trent and thought I was going to end up In the river with the Cayman wrapped around me! I did have 2 double figure Barbel to 14lb though, plus a bonus 12lb carp so it was well worth it.
50+mph though? No chance. Not by a river anyway!

You lot need you heads examining...! We are talking about 80-90 miles per hour steady with gusts of 120-130 mph.
I'm out...!

Lovely where I am in sunny Bedfordshire. But I've gotta admit I'm off home once it's dark. Way too many old trees for me to camp out here tonight.

I was tempted to crank the bbq up this afternoon, like a summers day out the back here in Essex..best lay my patio heaters over and expect the fence panel damage in the morning..

Really nice day today in North London too, going to be a bit rough tomorrow by all accounts, heavy rain and strong winds 50 miles per hour by 10am aprantly. I won't be fishing tomorrow.

weather is going to be a bit cheeky here in Surrey, I would def think twice about going out - good luck and stay safe if you do
OK, they have slightly down graded the gust forecast but I still wouldn't go out in this!
Near enough 70mph...Be lucky and come back to tell us a) how you go on and b) if you survived!

I'm out until Monday if I can... I haven't had the bivvy door closed for years but it's going to be zipped up tonight!
The wind turbines have been shut down and no doubt locked...they rarely do this,only if extreme weather is predicted..
I won't be going outside,having seen roof ,fences and Delabole rag slate flying through the air like paper,in past times.
I have seen rag,just sitting, like butter on toast,sliced into peoples cars.....I'm staying inside....!!!!
Fcuk fishing....!!

I'm definitely in the right spot the wind is hitting the embankment behind me and going straight over my bivvy. Its getting lively now though and I think it will evil when I wake up tomorrow morning but on the plus side I've seen two shows right in front of me.
