I went up to Bamburgh again on Saturday, there was a 9ft swell forecast and a load of the local lads were planning to get up there for 9am... very keen!
There had been fresh snow overnight and the drive up was pretty treacherous in places, but when I eventually arrived the wind was slightly offshore and in the mid to high teens. It was forecast to be much higher, so rigged up the 11m Furia, expecting to change down later on in the day.
Sadly it never really picked up from there, and the wind was quite holey, as it was blowing over the headland and quite turbulent. I had a decent day anyway, and got to try out my bodged together helmet cam, consisting of a Pentax Optio W30, an old helmet, and a few bolts and washers! The result is okay, but its a pity the field of view isn't wider and isn't so susceptible to having water on the lens.
Sunday was a wash out, barely 10mph of wind, got wet but that's about all!
