If there is wind there are people there virtually every day at the weekend from Lunch time onwards
If you do wish to come along drop a note on this thread so that we know to expect you as there is a lock on the gate.
Best direction for wind is NW but is usable from virtually any direction with SE-ESE being the least desirable
