Looks pretty rough, not a lot of fun that.

Impressive that tents can take that sort of beating.

we camped Friday and Saturday night.Ed and Oisin had the Vortex for protection and I used the Vango Mirage.both tents preformed well although I was nervous of nearly trees even though the wind was blowing the other way,lol

High winds is definitely an area of bivvy bag supremacy. If it's windy enough to blow away a 75 kilo bag which is a couple of feet off the ground - then it's no safe place for tents of any kind.

Bivvy ftw!
