It seemed several people camped out in storm Arwen with different outcomes. Here is my version of events camping out on the summit of Great End in the Lake District National Park. Great End is a beautiful mountain standing at 910m with views over Great Gable and Scafell Pike. I chose this mountain to camp on because it has a fairly easy walk down to safety on the south side which would have been more sheltered from the storm front which was coming from the North. I know the area well and felt it a safer option than what I originally planned in Snowdonia, being Glyder Fawr. I packed my equipment meticulously ensuring I had all necessary items for Blue and I to safely camp out in storm conditions. Although my tent broke because of the high wind speeds it didn’t fail me as throughout I felt completely safe within. I chose to stay safe within the warmth of my equipment and tent rather than increase the risks by attempting to escape the mountain. It was an epic night and a real ‘in the field’ test of my equipment which all served me well and kept me well within my comfort zone.

Please take care of yourselves and make sure you have the right equipment to suit the conditions, risk assess completely to suit your own experiences, abilities and comfort zones and enjoy your adventures safely.

All love

Al and Blue
