G'day Dave,
Yes that was definitely me...
Nice to know I have an audience; I will try and be more amusing on freq next time, perhaps drop in a few in-jokes or amusing anecdotes!
I had the same feeling as you actually... I was very anxious about the front approaching from the west, and it had looked on the weather radar in the morning that there was some serious activity associated with the front in Irish Sea / Welsh coast so I expected that would be heading our way and wanted to get back before the cloud-base dropped and vis. got worse.
But this weather prediction is a complicated hobby..! In fact in the end I regretted heading back as early as we did because it was lovely as we headed back north to Wycombe, and I felt kind of dissappointed landing back at Benson, after dropping Janet and the kids at Wycombe, that maybe I could've spent more time out and about. Better safe than sorry, but where I live (Chesham, near the BNN VOR) the front never really came to much: just a few spots of rain, cloud-base never got lower than a few thousand feet at a guess, and vis. if anything improved. Perhaps it was worse further south?
How/when will I get better at these weather decisions!?
Andy
