I’m game despite the rather insane winds we should expect Friday !

Looks like an accurate prediction, it has been indeed quite windy this morning.

Yes the weather may prove challenging . We will have to assess it once we are out there .  At best it may curtail some activities (ridges may be difficult to see depending on the wind) , at worst (if sandstorm ) we may have to stop but rest assured I have experience of this and we will, as always, drive in a safe manner whilst having the most fun we can have .

I'm already here and the wind has kicked up so much sand the visibility is low.

Not sure how many people are going to complain about missing flags. The wind is blowing at such great force its difficult to even stand outside.

Stop for prayer please except my apologies for 5 to 10 mins late
