    Can deal with the rain Steve, I just don't fancy those gale force winds which are predicted. Good luck anyway, I look forward to the footage.

    For those few who are going out for this tomorrow, there will be a 50mph TSR on the WCML north of Preston because of the wind. So expect late running...

    A really strong sideways wind on a climb adds a coach or two to the load. Could be an interesting day for those who are travelling.

    If you can't see the fells, it's raining, if you can, it's about to.
