A ridiculously wet camp near the summit of Helvellyn with constant rain and 50mph gusts! Definitely my wettest ever wild camp which tested my kit to its limit especially my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 tent. I learnt I need a better backpack cover as after all that rain everything was soaked. My Forest Gump attempt?… I’ll stick to my day job.
Mountain camping in wet and windy conditions is made safer by having the correct equipment with you. When you are wet you lose heat from your body around 20 times faster so it can become very dangerous very quickly. Please take care out there and of your dogs.
Get outside and enjoy our lovely world (in the correct kit).
All love
Al and Blue
