Wind limit

I had planned a short flight this morning to keep my hand in until my new licence arrives.
Rang club - Wind actual 250 /23 kts,forecast 250/25 gusting 35 kts.
We would be using Runway 25
Then spoke to CFI who said tongue in cheek "I can handle it, can you?"
I thought I could but there would be lttle point in flying as it would be extremely bumpy and not very useful to me.
Then started thinking,is there a "down the runway limit" ?
Called my next door neighbour who is an airline captain ,he thought there was no down runway limit,only crosswind limits.
Any thoughts on this?
