2015 not a vintage year, thus far, for calm days.

It is official, the UK Meteorological Office confirms that 2015 to date has been pretty windy, there have only been 8 days when at least 20 weather stations across the UK have recorded a maximum gust speed of 10 Knots (11 mph) or less and none of these days has fallen in May, June or July so far.

It explains why several wild camping trips have bitten the dust, as the winds forecast at higher levels, along with rain, low cloud and hill fog have dampened any enthusiasm I've had for trips to the hills.
