We wild camped in a storm on Fan Frynych in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, a real test of the Hilleberg Soulo and Nortent Vern 1. After a cold but pleasant ascent, we pitched the tents and enjoyed a peaceful sunset, but as the clock ticked by the winds picked up, and for most of the night the tents were hit side-on with 45mph gusts and extremely heavy rain.
