'The spectacular end to the weekend was Dave's tent disintigrating in the increasing gale but I claimed the bits to make a better porch for my large tent.

It's an ill wind..... ;-)'

Likewise, I was able to repair my tent with the disgarded bits from The Gloom Band's damaged one, the only extra expense being new 'Knicker elastic' replacemnt shock cording for the poles.

Now I understand why its called 'shock' cording because've the price!
