strong gusty winds

Is it possible for you to buy some Nordic walking poles? They're very useful.

Fennel, I find the wind, especially those sudden gusts quite disorientating and feel that they could throw me off-balance too so now I don't go out in them if I don't have to.

Thanks for he replies - I braved the wind this morning as I just HAD to get out!
What I really wanted to know is what is causing this type of windy weather. Is it normal? I know they say March, in like a lion etc, but I don't remember these periods of calm, then sudden violent gusts that can knock you over.

ps plus - this has been going on since well before March.

Fennel we live on the NE coast and, I agree, it seems to have been especially windy this winter. Just take extra care as the sudden gusts can be really strong.

My bloke has lived in the NE his whole life. As long as I've known him he has always moaned about the winds up North.

GagaJo I’m originally from the Midlands and I’ve never got used to how windy it is up here. My hair is constantly tangled as, even in the height of summer, there’s always a breeze!
