| It is not always possible to get a damaged or otherwise off-air Wendy back on-air immediately; especially in winter, when weather conditions for outdoor repair work are often impossible! Access problems or continued high winds often prevent me from fixing things immediately. Most of the stations are in extremely exposed locations, and I have to wait until winds die down before it is safe to climb the mast to repair/replace things... Sometimes, landowners limit access to the stations until the fields/tracks have dried out - and I have to abide by their wishes, as they mostly allow the Wendy stations on their land as a favour to me, and you. |

I try to keep out-of-service, and anticipated return-of service data on this page up-to-date.
If you need more information, please contact me.
Remember, if the website data feed goes down for any reason, you can still gain access to the Wendy data by calling the stations direct, 24 hours a day. Each station runs independently, so if the central data feed to the website goes down, phone access is unaffected.

10th July. I went down to Firle (from Sheffield!) on Thursday to let BT into the premises to diagnose the faulty phone line. Seems another BT engineer had pinched Wendy's line to repair another number's fault - thinking Wendy's phone line was not used! I don;t mind travelling to fix my OWN equipment when it goes wrong - but sheesh!
If fitted a whole new package of sensors to the tower on Friday 9th June. . The original anemometers and direction indicators had been damaged by the gang of painters climbing the tower! Think they had trodden on them! Everything should be working spot-on now.This station is operating normally, as far as we know. However, if you suspect a fault, please let us know on office@wendywindblows.com.
