And now the reports for lesser important coastal stations:
Kerruish and South East Iceland (best place for him) – wind, North West, 7 miles, one thousand and four, rising slowly. But not as fast as Rachel’s cake mix. Thermal warm spots over Cohnrenny, tyre burning, increasing.
Foxdale, Mid East – KOM’s sparse, as far as the ring road, Six six six, rising slowly. Then fading…ooops sorry we’ve lost communication…..hello???….come in Foxdale….come in…..please report……Sorry listeners we seem to have lost Foxdale……we’ll keep trying…..
And that concludes this morning’s shipping forecast.
Sorry for the lack of social rides. Seems to be that time of year, where everybody does their own thing (summer holidays, kids on holidays, trips away, gardening, painting…..sneaky training for the E2E) you get the picture.
