With the weather forecast looking pretty bad for the rest of our planned trip, this morning we had to make a decision. After much discussion we decided that we’d need to follow the weather and abandon the planned route. Rather than complete our tour of the south west coast where wind gusts are forecast to be around 65-70 we have diverted to the new forest for a couple of days to see what the weather actually does.
The good news was that, on arriving after a 4 hour drive, there was very little wind and the sun was shining !
We’ve not managed to test out a lot of the things we wanted to test on this trip but one thing we have learned is to adapt rather than stick to a plan.
So we’re now in the New Forest for a couple of nights, two pubs within easy walking distance and a nice secluded and sheltered location should the winds start to pick up as they are forecast to.
