Berrow 2000 Daily Report: Sunday 24th September

What did we say about the weather?.. Well it wouldn't be the same at Berrow without the rain. It started around 4am, and didn't stop till 11am. The sun eventually came out from behind the clouds during the afternoon, but then around 3pm the real downpour started, big black clouds appeared overhead and the wind suddenly shifted 180 degrees and went from a very calm 3mph to a blustery 15+mph!

When the rain cleared away there was blue sky and sunshine, and the wind had picked up- perfect to dry all those soggy kites out. However, within an hour the rain was back once more, but later cleared away again, leaving the wind strong enough for some good buggying and kite-surfing.

Chris Croft looked a likely contender for the Slow-Bo award today, on two counts. Firstly he decided it would be fun to do a slalom course around the cones with his caravan, towed behind his Transit. What he didn't realise was that after the first corner the caravan detached itself from the van...

He then went to switch on the generator to power the PA van, but it kept stopping after 10 seconds. After much faffing about with wire brushes, etc, Peter Mirkovic pointed out that the generator had run out of oil and the cut-out had operated!
