yes the Risers do make a bit of a difference don't they, also they push you back slightly . after I fitted them I had the urge to change my screen as I was slightly higher up into the buffeting.

enjoy your trip

Beautiful scenic pictures

Lucky you weren't here just over a month later when we experienced some absolutely horrendous floods, it was hard to believe that Lake Windermere could rise by such a massive amount overnight.

You may recognise some of the pictures in this link. Picture number 13 (with the Blue doors) is the home of my close friend and was where he and I spent 10 hours up to our knees in flood water trying to save their possessions it took a further 10 months before they would be able to move back in  to their home.

Scary stuff that water  :yes:
