<\/a><\/p>\nMet a few walkers and a man with his son who had camped in annalong valley. They said it got windy but was grand. Pushed on up after lunch and to the summit. Once up there the side where the wall sheltered the wind was crappy snow and ice and where I would have had a good pitch the wind was howling. I knew the wind was gonna pick up so I decided that was never gonna happen. The ground is rock solid so I wasn’t gonna get a peg in there.<\/p>\n
I knew my only safe option was to drop down to the false summit as its latish and see how it looked. I really wanted to stay but I went with my gut instinct. Happy days down here was soft snow and decision made,Bergen off and set about making my home for the night.<\/p>\n My pitch<\/p>\n Wee cobra up<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dinner on, army rations again which are quick and easy.\u00a0 I just melted snow which is quick enough.<\/p>\n Time for a dander up to watch the sunset before bed and radio2.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The wind picked up but the tent was secure and I would never have been that high without my snow pegs.\u00a0 I used my Bergman liner under my sleeping mat to have an extra layer against the snow.\u00a0 Worked great and I was snug all night.<\/p>\n I learnt this time to get warm before getting into my bag, I had forgot this last time.\u00a0 After my walk up to the summit it was night night.<\/p>\n Me and Cash had a Brilliant time and I loved being that high, it’s so much better being up away from civilisation.\u00a0 Only thing was I had no signal so I was aware that people worry and next time up this area ill know to pre warn before panic in civilisation.<\/p>\n Last few photos.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
