Friday
The blustery showers continuing throughout the day, some of which will be heavy and also wintry above 900 metres. The winds will remain gale or storm force with a danger of losing your footing and also with severe buffeting. Severe wind chill.Saturday
A fine start but chilly with a touch of frost in sheltered dales. Cloud soon spreading from the west with rain extending across the ranges during the afternoon. Cloud bases lowering to cover the summits, then lower levels later. Gales or storm force winds developing.Lets hope my Voyager is up to the battering again. I have added a couple of extra guy lines to the front where the poles cross over hoping it makes it not slap me in the face if the wind changes during the night. So up to now we have in no order me, Chris, Andy, Alex and a possible show from the storm chaser Dave, lets hope he makes it be nice to see the Akto out perform every tent again.
Stay Tuned for the after report if it went to plan or if we actually got camped ok. I will be hoping it rains on way up so I can test my new Jacket from Webtogs pic below.
A quick thanks to Gareth from Webtogs as he made the purchase an absolute joy with ease never had that service from a shop before so many plugs for Webtogs anyone thinking about purchasing anything to do with outdoors look in there first.
