A night in a busted tent! On two occasions now my tent poles have snapped in wind, both times though (see those here and here), I was only a few kilometres from my car and able to bail. But it got me wondering, what happens if I’m on a multi-night adventure, it’s getting dark, my poles snap and I’m too far away to walk out? (Assuming I don’t have anything to attempt a pole fix with me either, which I often don’t, but I feel like that needs to change and have now ordered a pole repair splint) For this attempt I used my MSR Hubba NX, a neat lil tent but one of the ones that has broken in wind for me in the past. The poles have since been fixed, so I just undid a couple of sections to recreate how it looked when it actually broke. After removing my ‘broken’ poles, I first had a go using my trekking pole to prop it up. This worked so well! I was even able to attach the mesh inner back to the outer using a couple of carabiners that I keep on my rucksack (so handy!) and I had fashioned a sturdy, functional shelter But I felt like this was too easy, and considered that many people don’t carry trekking poles anyway. So I decided to try it without, reducing the tent to a floppy, collapsed shelter, but, still a shelter none-the-less. The night was cool and breezy, dropping down to 1ºC. I had no phone reception but the 60km/ph winds that were forecast on my Garmin did not come to be. It was actually a beautiful night, spent wrapped in the tent with my head poking out, waking up to the sound of a creature walking about (a mountain goat maybe), to find that the clouds had cleared and I was under a sky full of bright, wintery stars Light rain started to fall in the morning, but it was no bother. I’d pull the tent fabric over my head to shelter, and pop out again whenever it stopped. The most inconvenient thing about it all was the tent fabric flapping around in my face while I had to be inside the tent. Condensation might have been an issue if my sleeping bag weren’t protected by my bivi bag, but as it was it just felt a bit damp in there, more of a mild discomfort than a problem All-in-all, a pretty easy first attempt at a night in a busted tent, but I think it might get a bit interesting in worse weather haha, so I’ll try this again in less forgiving conditions and report back. But experimenting with this reassures me that if my tent did indeed get busted up when I was too far out to bail, I’d be absolutely fine. HAPPY SPRING YOU GUYS! It’s finally here. Let’s hope it’s a good one :D Gear List

Thank you to these amazing artists for producing such great music! Kisses and Heartbeats – Anthony Lazaro Swan Lake Jazzed Up – Kobi Salomon Blanket of Stars – Ty Simon A Better Way (For a Rainy Day) – Martin Klem On the last day of January, I decided to try out my tiny tent for a cold camp. I don’t really enjoy the cramped feel of small shelters like this (Snugpak Ionosphere), but I thought that being such a small space, it might retain heat better than a bigger hiking tent. I was right! During the night I was surprised to find about 5-and-a-half °C of temperature difference between outside and inside the tent. This is similar to what I’ve experienced with my Hille in freezing conditions in the past, so, very impressive This was a totally beautiful night! Big mountain views of an icy Yr Wyddfa, a pastel sunset, and a starry sky including our winter friend Orion, various planets, Pleiades and our neighbouring galaxy Andromeda too. I didn’t sleep very well (the ground wasn’t quite right), but that meant that I got to watch lots of tiny lights climbing the mountain, followed by a frosty, pink sunrise. Shoutout to anyone who night-climbed Snowdon and watched the sun rise from his summit on February 1st, I was watching you! In a non-creepy way haha As excited as I am for spring and to feel a little heat from the sun, this winter has actually been a real treat so far. I’ve had lots of cold, pretty nights out, compared to last winter which was mild and wet as hell. Apologies to the bad-weather lovers though, I didn’t get much of it over summer and now winter has been kind to me as well, but rest assured I have plenty of plans for wet & wild antics when I get the weather for it on my free weekends GEAR LIST

It was the day after I’d had a tent break in the wind, and I returned to the same area with a very similar forecast, this time armed with my Hille. Typically, the wind died down and there was no need for such a hardcore tent, but I was unexpectedly treated to one of the most beautiful camps! I pitched on an open, rock-scattered plateau up at 400 metres. The stars came out during the cold night, I slept deeply and I unzipped the tent in the morning to see clouds flowing down the nearby cliffs, billowing out into the open expanse behind me The waves flowed for hours and were absolutely mesmerising. It was like a giant waterfall, but made of cloud. A cloudfall. I’ll never forget it GEAR LIST

There was a standard slightly ropey mountain forecast but nothing out of the ordinary. I wasn’t expecting it to be a bad-weather-tent-test kinda camp and I thought I was pitching in a nice sheltered spot by a lake backed by majestic cliffs, then the wind changed direction, naturally The tent poles were bending inwards, two of the pole sections kept pulling apart and then the crossbar snapped. I didn’t manage to get the tent up fully so I can’t say how it would have fared if I’d finished with it, but I just don’t trust lightweight pole tents in our unhinged UK weather This tent has performed very well in more sheltered conditions (see that video here), it has innovative design features and is a great tent. I just don't think that lightweight and 'stormworthy' are qualities that can be found together in pole tents. In my experience, you choose one or the other GEAR LIST

Who’s That – Ty Simon In Other News – Sam River Sleepless – Notize Nocturne Op9 No2 – Aviva H All from Artlist with license A snowy night in my new (old) car, meet Rover! Rover is a Land Rover Freelander 2 just like Landy, but he’s a bit younger, currently 13 years old. Similar to Landy he also already had over 100k on the clock when I bought him, but I’m hoping he’ll do me a few years For my bed I’m using a slab of upholstery foam cut to size, a single sheet, pillows & duvet. This whole bed folds up to fit neatly into the boot. I’m also in a sleeping bag for this one because it was cold, and cars can get pretty chilly in the winter. This was a lovely experience in the snow, my coldest car sleep yet but I was nice and toasty in there with my hand warmer on the go! I use window guards to stop rain (or in this case snow) coming in the windows, while allowing me ventilation throughout the night, and I have lil car window nets for privacy Rover is really cosy and I reckon he’ll be a perfect lil retreat for those camps-gone-wrong that I have to bail. I like to keep my car stocked with dry clothes, hand warmers, shovel, towel, head torch, med kit and snacks This ended up being a shorter trip than I’d anticipated due to the road conditions and my fear of sliding off the road and down a cliff, but I managed a quick and bitterly cold stop off at the high pass of Bwlch y Groes before the snow came in, looking out over the icy Arans. And then another brief stop at snowy Llyn Tegid on the way home To see the car bed set-up in my previous Freelander (my beloved Landy!) check out this video Gear List
