So this video was pretty much all the camping I did over December. Totally sick of the wind and rain now, feel like it's been like this for months now!
RE the wind, whilst in no way is this a mountain tent, I have had mine in 45 mph gusts and it was superb and still. I ran a length of cord with loops on the ends, acoss the short pole hook -on points which stopped them popping off. I also took the guys around the poles a couple of turns prior to pegging out. Solid.....and quiet.
Thanks for the tips. Night Cat are replacing the poles for me so it certainly won't be it's last run out, I do really like the tent just won't be taking it up high this time of year again.
