Tried to get a specific weather forecast from the Met Office for the Peak District, but only general regional forecasts are available. Useless, I pointed out, since weather in Sheffield and Manchester, can be really different. <\/p>\n

So, apparently, I get the individual services of Met Officer, at \u00a317.00 a throw.<\/p>\n

The Peak Authority said the only other thing to do, was ring the Ranger Service at Edale 01433 670216<\/p>\n

edale.ranger@peakdistrict-npa.gov.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

who get the latest detailed forecast, faxed through, for the Met Office, themselves. so they pay the \u00a317.00, I expect. Not as good a service as what I got, few weeks ago, in Snowdonia.<\/p>\n

The other option, fellow walkers, is to send a text message to the weather centre and get a forcast for the next few hours. The service is described here: —<\/p>\n

Mobile Text Forecast: http:\/\/www.meto.govt.uk\/services\/wxtext2.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Type in wthr4 (either upper or lower case) followed by a space then enter either a full UK postcode (with no spaces) or type in a UK city, town or village name. <\/p>\n

An example using a postcode: wthr4 S330BJ
\n
or using a UK city, town or village name: wthr4 Edale
\n
BT Cellnet, send to:\t 2638<\/p>\n

* * * * <\/p>\n

As an example of this service, here is the text message, the Met Office returned to me for a 6 hour period:<\/p>\n

EDALE 28\/09:
\n
12pm-rain,
\n
1pm-bright dry,
\n
2pm-bright dry,
\n
3pm-bright dry,
\n
4pm-cloudy dry,
\n
5pm-cloudy dry;
\n
12 to 14 C <\/b><\/p>\n
