Weather Update

Unfortunately the weather for tomorrow's Championships looks to be 'Challenging', with Met Eireann issuing a Status Yellow Rain & Wind Alert. Weather is set to be pretty wet from the outset, and worsening through the afternoon, with the height of the rain and wind likely to be around 6pm.

Consequently, everyone is advised to have at least one change of clothes. If you're bringing these on-course, it is probably a good idea to have these inside a plastic bag, even if it's in a gear-bag - something like a refusack should suffice - to ensure that you have dry clothes to change into. ...and keep the bag for your wet gear/clothes. Don't forget to bring rainwear, hat and gloves, to protect yourself from the elements

Driving Home

Weather, in terms of Rain and Wind, may make driving difficult. In the East, it's expected to be at it's height around 6pm, so hopefully you'll be well on your way by then. However, even if you leave earlier, you are likely to hit it on the way. If you do, please reduce your speed, use headlamps and, if necessary, fog lamps - but don't forget to turn off your fog lamps when conditions improve. It might also be an idea to stop for a break during the worst of the weather.

We're coming up to Christmas - Lets keep it a Happy one - Drive Safely....and watch out for the Other Guy, who may not be so sensible!
