Had a nice work trip out last night, campers drinking booze made us not use the Island and stick to the mainland. 67MPH gusts were recorded last night but our sturdy and well made Vango Tempest and Spectre tents did not loosen a peg or rip a guy line. Very well made tents which inspire confidence, although I still checked the tents every hour fro a few hours during the night. Also my own Vango TYPHOON was 100% happy and did not get any damage. The benefit of the wind was no midges !
We used Gelert fleece liners but they had trouble zipping them as they are quite a small fiddly zipper. I was just thinking to make our own using fleece and a bungee drawstring at the neck. These with onesies kept the group warm. Any thoughts ?

Very tough and strong ex army basha, pararcord tie offs.

The versatile group cooking kit, trangias. The windy weather used up much more fuel than usual.
