Walkers Guess Where It Will Rain And Win £10

[Mark Bayley]

Thursday looks a good day, really will be guess work though at that range! Think i will get two on seems as though the comp is coming to end.

[NorthantsSnow]

I was not so lucky yesterday. My square in S. Ireland did not pay out but a whole load of squares around it did!

I'm going to wait for the 12Z before making my Thursday pick so I can at least have the very latest data to hand before making an educated guess.

I was surprised to see mine win, was only very light rain during the time period i picked, about 1mm according to the net-weather accumulation feature!

Yeah, it was fairly light rain so I was fully expecting it to be hit & miss.

My square in N Ireland today looks better. Just watching some moderate rain move through the area on the radar.

Todays western Scotland is a no hoper, at least i think it is :lol: Got one for Western Ireland tomorrow evening which looks promising, Tuesday I'm relying on showers in Eastern England so that will be luck! Just going to put a bet on Thursday when the GFS is fully out. I'm thinking of a guess in Ireland

11am to 2pm Northern most tip of Northern Ireland

I remember in a similar setup the rain crossed the country much quicker than the GFS was suggesting. So I'm thinking of going against the GFS and picking somewhere further east.

Tricky one though. Earlier it had everything further west so it's already shunting it E.

I think i might put one further East (somewhere in Western Scotland) after midnight if there are still some squares left.

Yeah, I've gone for a spot in Western Scotland between 1100-1400.

I've done that on Thursday as well.

[Backtrack]

£20 from today!

Bringing my toal up to a respectable £50!

[Paul T]

£160 so far, 2 in sw ireland 2-5 tomorrow should bag another 20 hopefully.

Given that things are now 5 days in advance, i just overlay a google topo graph over the walkers map and pick the squares that comprise of the predicted wind-facing hills, along with the gfs for further detail.

I have won £10's and 10's just to the NE of Fort William, and also sugarloaf mt in sw ireland by Glengariff (family live there you see)

[NorthantsSnow]

Won £10 yesterday! On Friday I've gone for a spot in N. Devon.

[Mark Bayley]

Should have another £10 today bringing me to a total of £60. I'm relying on some showers in the East for Tuesday and the rain band on Thursday (have two bets on). I'm debating whether to wait up till midnight to put a bet on for Friday or just wait till Saturday. I think i will do the later option!

You need to get in quick! I reckon most of us only have a couple more goes left before the comp ends - the grid for Fri 12th is virtually full now, that only leaves 4 more days and I reckon they'll both fill in the next 48 hours.

Cheers for reminding me, I'll do Monday's attempt in about 10 minutes.

The website isn't working for me :/ Putting a bet of for Western Scotland

Edited November 8, 2010 by mark bayley

[NorthantsSnow]

Yes the website isn't working properly at the minute. I guess the midnight rush must be having an effect.

[Essan]

Hmmm, the site seems to have crashed .... :unsure:

[J10]

Not working for me either.

[Mark Bayley]

I don't know whats worse, the site crashing or staying up till 12am just to put a bet on :lol:

[Backtrack]

It is working. Just VERY slow.

[J10]

Not working for me either.

Mine now done, I have gone for Western Scotland again and lunchtime.

[Essan]

Finally got through with a square on the Red Cuillin in the afternoon. Fingers crossed!

[Mark Bayley]

I shall just have to be persistent with it, i have gone for same time and place as you Jackone. Wasn't going to risk it down south, despite what the GFS says!

Just got through!
