Who in their right mind would take a family tent to a windy island? We were on the east coast, but vulnerable nevertheless. It was atleast our small family tent, The Palace wouldn't stand a chance!<br /><br />In fact, I'll have a look now, you've got me curious...Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-60405087548717349852010-06-14T22:00:31.486+01:002010-06-14T22:00:31.486+01:00Hmmm, maybe you should keep to The Storr, and mayb...Hmmm, maybe you should keep to The Storr, and maybe Bruach na Frithe, and lots of lovely lower places.<br /><br />The only time the weather ever got the better of the Phreerunner was at Glenbrittle (I still think it would have survived if someone had been inside it) - out of 40-50 tents only a few Quasars and my NF VE25 stayed up, albeit even some of those were damaged.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-42657938934915905012010-06-14T21:12:56.048+01:002010-06-14T21:12:56.048+01:00Hi Martin, and thank you!

We'll try again sometime and will certainly be looking at the hills, but it's not the height in itself that's the problem. It's ravines and precipitous edges that I can't cope with. If it's a good path up a broad hill, I'm fine, this one was perfect!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-68089530839765664532010-06-11T22:29:50.387+01:002010-06-11T22:29:50.387+01:00Belated Happy Birthday, Louise.

No narrow paths winding up the side of a precipice, just the 2000ft drop by the cairn, but I crawled up to that, ahem. Navigation might be a bit tricky in poor visibility, it's so broad and featureless on top, but I only do these things on a good day!<br />Loved it!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-20680050448949822010-05-31T22:14:23.766+01:002010-05-31T22:14:23.766+01:00Its grand up there innit?
