Well you can go north to off set it a little, its what i have been doing, well N.W. taking in some small hills also helps off set it especially if you can get in the lee of the hill.

I can't even go directly North either because of the coastline, i've just come back from a little 22 mile loop.....could'nt have really done much more to be honest, i was all over the road at times....not good !

Yea I know it curves round to the N.W.
It was a bit blowy when I was out this morning, and it got up a bit after that.

Was going out today but the wind is so bad I just can't be bothered - if it dies down later on I'll go then.

Wind wasn't to bad this morning, sounds like it is picking up again now though. Per BBC we will get Southerly winds on Sunday and then back to Easterlies on Monday, on the plus side the temperature is forecast for 11c on Monday, downside is it is going to rain

Looks like a drop in wind for the weekend. I did 20 miles down to Cardiff Bay his afternoon. The weather was superb. Still a bit windy but sunny and a few degrees warmer. I even had to take off my winter base layer in Starbucks toilets before the return leg of the ride.

A bit of a change today. The cutting edge seems to have gone and a few degrees warmer, hopefully spring is around the corner.
If we had these easterlies in the summer it would have been bloody hot. Cant help think that the Atlantic is now waiting to do its stuff and give us loads of rain.
