Windy out?

 
Out of respect for Storm Eunice our walk this morning was purposely planned to avoid woodland, and when we did encounter any trees we ensured we passed on the wind facing side to avoid flying debris; good choices as out in the forest the wind was blowing a proper hooley; you've got to respect the elements. Walking was awkward; you had to push into the wind, all the time constantly buffeted about; then periodically the wind would drop momentarily and without the resistance posed by the wind you'd stumble forward. The blizzard of flying grass we encountered as we crossed the causeway through Holmhill Bog bottom gives a taste of today's walking conditions.
