Hi,

Just to let you know that Metcheck have updated the 72 hour Mountaincast area on the site.

I've added as many areas as I can to the regions, if you have any

particular

favourite climbs/walks then please do let me know and I'll add it to the list.

Kind regards,

Andrew, I'm sure you've got good intentions, but do we need a website that can give a separate
weather forecast for Ben Lui and Ben a'Chleibh? And more to the point is it possible to give
separate forecasts? I'm not being negative, I just think those two hills in particular are way too
close to differentiate between them, just over a mile between the peaks!

The same could be said about High Willhays and Yes Tor on Dartmoor whic are only 976 meters apart

John.

Kinder Scout and Kinder Low are even better. 900 metres apart, 3 m height difference and no contours
in between them. How they can be thought of a separate places for weather forecasts is beyond me.

Although I applaud the idea behind the site (and the site itself if the data turns out to be
reliable) silly things like this should be ironed out. Forecasts for general areas is great but for
individual "peaks" it will end up being silly.

Hi KRO,

Valid point, the forecast dataset is in fact identical for the two hills, however it's one of those
horses for courses scenarios, if I didn't include it then you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll
get an email asking "if you can add Ben a'Chleibh to the list!" lol.

Regards,

Andrew

I presume the same is true for the Scafell, Scafell Pike, Great End, Esk Hause, Bowfell, Crinkle
Crags cluster (all of which would lie within an appropriately drawn 3 mile diameter circle). Any
plans to add anywhere towards the periphery of the Lake District?

Why Esk Haus (sic) rather than Esk Pike?

I notice that in your Brecon Beacons section you have three summits which are very close together.
Any chance of including Fan Brycheiniog for a slightly more westerly forecast?

Didn't you have more in Mid-Wales last time I looked? Like Drygarn Fawr and Plynlimon?

How about north east Wales, like the Berwyns and the Clwydian Hills?

It is but distribution seems a bit erratic. I bought the November issue but there didn't seem to be
one available for December.

Yes it's still available, the latest issue is Jan/Feb 2004 and has an excellent article about
Finland (a bit flat for me ;-))

They've not entered the 21st century yet, no web site etc, to subscribe phone 01789 450000, it's
currently £15 for 6 issues (1 year) or £30 for 13.
