Good luck with the walk, the forecast is 45kph wind but dry

I HATE WIND!!! :angry:

Post by: jimmymac on 23 Nov, 2019, 10:24:18 am: Makes sense to hear that the walk is postponed till tomorrow Judi as it seems a bit silly to put people's safety in danger no matter how good the cause is.
Alboxclima stats this morning registered max. gust wind of 101Km/h at 04.00 this morning.

Post by: frankie on 23 Nov, 2019, 10:50:47 am: I was determined to stay in bed last night but gave in and sat in chair fully dressed around 2am. Stupid really as it would make no difference, if the trees fell on me, if I was dressed or not! No idea but I do feel safer. I was able to watch most of the debate last night as TV kept going on and off. Same thing this morning and only Sky News is stable.

The walk is postponed until tomorrow
The "moonlight" bicycle race from Albox to Saliente and back was also cancelled last night because of the rain and wind so please don't feel postponing your walk was a one off.
The reason given was safety for the riders => health and safety now seems to rule in Albox :clap: :thumbsup:
