Usually about 35kt crosswind component. Not really 'challenging'. Not easy for inexperienced, but easily handleable when practiced. I was recently operating in permanent gales at 45 degrees to the runway for a week. Great fun.
Lulsgate does seem to get more than its fair share of 'exotic' weather, like Leeds. I suppose it is because of the location and local topography.
