Got out on to the tops to find it was very windy :(
we thought we had found a sheltered camping site only to find it blowing a gale throughout the night forcing Ben out of his fly and in to our tent. We woke up to a fresh morning and a very windy start to the day
. The 2nd night we found a nice camp and made a fire to keep warm. That morning we woke up to boots and frost over our tentsfrozen
, but by lunch time it was time for a swim to cool of :)
The 3rd night was spent around the fire telling storys followed by the last day full of GET HOMEITIS !!
