This is really good. I lived so you could see when the Helm Wind was about to blow because of the cloud formation over the Pennines. We got the tail end of it and could hear it blowing. See this web site for an explanation. http://www.dufton.org.uk/the_helm_bar.htm There is a poem about Dufton that mentions it which I have been trying to trace. It was in my mother's Dufton WI Cookery book from around 1950 or before. I can't think where that cookery book went too - it was well used. The poem started something like this:-- Thou's nivver heard o' Dufton Where'st a lived afore It ligs right under Dufton Pike, Thou'll see it fra t' old barn door. It went on to say about the helm wind and has quite a few verses. If any one can locate this and can send me a copy I would be really grateful.
