Hi guys, been reading up on wind and wanted to get a wind metre to help with guessing and confirming. I understand it only measures where you are but thats cool and i'll start taking mote notice of the effects on natural indicators. Grass, trees etc.
Are the 20-25 buck ones on trade me good enough for this type of purpose??
Next time your at Sulpher point pop in and see Steve at Steve's marine it might have something on the shelf to suit your needs.Quote:

Yeah but rather learn to look at natural indicators and check of metre. Unless you eant to put flags on all the deer for me :)Quote:

yeah, iv had a couple I use them at work, the $30. ones. they do the job.
also look at the met service before you go out, there not far out. you will get an idea of what the peak value could be at given times through out the day.
Whats their dimensions and weight at a guess?Quote:

Looking at this one. Is this what you have??

yes.
Sweetas. Should do me until i learn to read it :D
Buy Norway's DVD, it has a very simple to remember system of how to read wind in it. you will watch it, go "yeah right whatever", then you will walk around for the next few days looking how things bend with the wind picturing the hand movements from the dvd and go "bugger me he is right" :ORLY:
Is there an english version? Or doesnt it matter?Quote:
