It was rough enough up here last night, but that morning made me very jealous.  Nice pics

Few more pics of the night.  Apologies in advance for all the dog pics.  New dog, first night in the hills, so the novelty hasn't worn off yet  ::)

Not really, as we were expecting the worst of weather we were well wrapped up, the firelog gave off minimal heat, just looks like a big fire in those long exposure shots  :)  there was so little wind i didn't even bother getting the anemometer out to measure it.

Nice write up Dave, it sounds like a pretty wild night, as you said if there was someone else up with you youd probably have stayed, bad weather and being by yourself can be a bit unearving.

Had you put the tent up before, it looks a lot like a marmot grid.

I think its really the same as the Marmot grid just lighter. I hadnt put it up as the plan was he was using it and I was using my Laser but I got the honours of popping its cherry  :D

Oh yeah!!! High five's!!! ;D ;D

Great blog Dave, but didn't you check the weather forecast, i knew the winds were to ease  ;D  fair play to you for getting the tent up alone in those conditions, spent a few windy nights alone on summits myself, but not in winter. Do you think you might have been a bit better protected if you'd pitched in the crater on the other side of the wall? thats were i stayed one windy night on Commedagh.
