Good evening. the late news hare on | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Although the South West esc`ped largely unscathed, high winds | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
at the tail end of Hurricand Bertha caused the closure of the | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
It's the first time in its 33 year history that the huge event at | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
The event is reported to be worth ?30 million to the local economy | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
but this year some traders have lost out. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
First thing this morning, traders were tying in their stalls | :00:29. | :00:43. | |
It has been really, really windy and really gusty and | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
of course it is just too dangerous for the public to come in hdre. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
As you guys have seen, the wind is just whipping | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
around down here especially as we are so exposed on the beach. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
It is a little bit of a disappointment, but at the same | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
There are 40 mile an hour whnds here on the beach today. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
As you have seen, the surfing village has shut shop, | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
But for the surfers, their passion is chasing storms | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
And someone who regularly does just that is Newquay's own Tom Bttler, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
competing here in the men's quarter`finals earlier | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
There is a lot of luck kind of of where the waves will pop up, | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
So the worst thing that can happen is that I am just not going to get | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
on the quality waves and thdrefore I am not going to be able to surf to | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Lady Luck eluded him today as she did thousands | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
The final day's lineup was cancelled due to extreme weather condhtions. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Many lost their tents due to high winds overnight | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Our tent ended up in a field somewhere over there and | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Halfway through the night, the wind just really picked up and | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
there were tents blowing evdrywhere, tents going over hedges. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
I think we were the only onds that didn't have any broken poles | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Although thousands have headed home, the more resilient campers resolved | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
to dig in for a final night on the Atlantic Coast. | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
A group of breast cancer patients from | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Plymouth have joined forces to show there is life after the illness | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
The women, who are all membdrs of the support group, Bosom Pals | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Spotlight's Johnny Rutherford has been to meet them. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
This group of ladies have got together to raise money for the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
But this is more than just a calendar shoot. | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
We wanted to do something rdally positive to make a difference | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
and kind of give hope to other people affected by cancer and show | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
And make some beautiful images of ladies who are local who have | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Today's shoot have to be the calendar?s front cover. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Everyone in the picture had or is having treatment for breast cancer. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
And they are all part of thd Plymouth support group, Bosom Pals. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
We have been through different treatments. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Breast cancer has many forms and we have about 50 members now and | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
we have enough experience there to pretty much answer any questions. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The shoot is a kind of support itself, | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Sometimes you did not feel like fun, but that is where | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
the group activities help because it can encourage. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
I could not have got to this stage of my treatment without humour | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
There is a lot of fun to be had before the calendar | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
Two giant steam engines re`lived the days of the | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
"Old Granite Road" in west Cornwall this afternoon ` recreating scenes | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Before the First World War, steam power was used to move largd granite | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
blocks from quarries in the area to the monumental works in Penryn. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Today, specatators ` here in Mabe Burnthouse ` wdre taken | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
back to a bygone era as the scene of a century ago was re`enacted | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
And finally, while some havd been left counting the cost of | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
the aftermath of Hurricane Bertha, others in the south west have been | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
These kitesurfers and windsurfers were enjoying the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
windy conditions at Bigbury`on`Sea in South Devon this afternoon. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
Plenty of people were out enjoying the sunny conditions with | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
the strong wind making it particularly good for kite flying. | :04:42. | :04:54. | |
Especially to swim at a life`guarded beach. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
We do not recommend to swim anywhere but a life`guarded beach and | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
if anyone's ever unsure then they are more than welcome to cole | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Well, it's certainly been a bit blustery out there ` | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
We have had a fairly blustery day today. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
The winds are our theme for the weather over | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
They should ease off slightly from what we had today | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
but still a fairly brisk wind throughout tonight and we whll see | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
some showers feeding in through the early hours of the mornhng. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Most will be fairly light, we could get the odd heavy one first thing. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
With all the cloud and the rain though, | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
a fairly mild night with lows of around 13 degrees to 15 degrees. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
We have got a westerly wind tomorrow fedding | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
There will be some spells of sunshine but it will be `nother | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Particularly down towards the south coast, here I think wd could | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
So not quite as windy today but still unseasonably windx. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
And we keep the winds as we go through Tuesday. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
A mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
A bit more settled for the liddle of the week. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Hello there. With reports of flooding and wind damage in some | :05:54. | :06:12. | |
parts of the UK, hurricane Bertha has certainly left her mark, in one | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
form or another. The low that sperm from her is now pushing its way on | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
to the North Sea and through the night will keep winds strong and | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
gusty across the country. Some lively showers around as well, wins | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
strengthening through northern Scotland and northern England and | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
this wraparound of a weather front could cause some issues tomorrow. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Tomorrow begins on | :06:35. | :06:35. |
