WE SET OFF IN THE NICEST CONDITIONS TO HEAD UP BLENCATHRA, DUE TO THE ICY PATHS AND THE WEATHER WARNING WE OPTED TO PITCH LOWER DOWN, STILL 2000 FEET BUT IN A SLIGHTLY SHELTERED SPOT. THE WIND HIT ABOUT 10.30PM AND I MEASURED 75MPH GUSTS, THE SNOW CAME THEN THE RAIN. WE GOT SOAKED BUT THE HILLEBERG STAIKA HELD UP AMAZINGLY. THE POLE GETTING ALL THE WIND WAS BENDING IN BUT INSTANTLY POPPED BACK INTO SHAPE AFTER, THERE WAS ZERO DAMAGE IN THE MORNING NO BENT POLES NOTHING. INCREDIBLE TENT.. DO NOT COPY US UNLESS YOU ARE 100 % CONFIDENT IN YOUR EQUIPMENT AND IN YOURSELF.. GOOD TO BUMP INTO @BUSHMANandBLUE  ALSO WHO HAD PITCHED ON THE SUMMIT, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR HIS VIDEO.. BIG THANKS TO LEANNE FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME AND THE CONDITIONS.. STAY SAFE AND CHECK THE WEATHER
