tried a Hilleberg Soulo in Snowdonia in 50mph winds.
Its been a long while coming but Dave Outdoors managed to lure me into the Welsh mountains with the promise of food!
Unfortunately the winds increased that day which meant that we had to alter our plans but as always, they turn out to be some of the best camps!
We pitched up at the foot of Moel Eilio but little did we know that this beauty spot was also the preferred spot for an illegal rave so not much sleep was had so I was more grumpy than usual!
A big thank you to the chaps for dragging me out:

Dave (of course) A big shoutout for you for getting me out again

John Hughes, A new recruit to the mafia
And a very heartfelt thank you to Jiffy Myers for letting my try out one of his Hilleberg tents. A very generous offer and gratefully received.

Here is Jiffy’s video of Moel Eilio to see what it’s like to camp on the summit:
