Wind you say... yes we get wind... we also get wonderous calm, quiet and peaceful days, especially in the spring and fall. The air is wonderful and the nature beautiful. The trails are mostly navigable, with some parts of the island rougher than others. It makes for interesting climbing, with the reward of the view from the top. I agree with the others. My top wind speed to come out here is 10-11 mph, 15 is a definite no no. I will leave the island up to 12-13mph only if I have to. I do spend time watching weather on the internet to know when I can come and when I have to leave. From time to time there is a small window of opportunity to travel. This, however is not very often. This year has been excellent, very few windy days from the NW.. as others have said, wind from the east and south does not matter much. The first year we were here we did get stuck for 4 days in November. We should have known better.... and have not been stuck since.
There is nothing better than island living.... and the broads is a wonderful place to be. The following two pictures show the great differences. I would not have it any other way!
