The aim was to enjoy a wild / stealth camp at Dunskey Castle - a ruin near Portpatrick and the start of the Southern Upland Way - and enjoy some landscape photography during sunset and sunrise. Once the sun had set, Hubert and I settled down in our tents for something to eat, enjoying the unusually warm Octobers night.

In the middle of the night, I was awoken by my Hexpeak tent being battered by crazy 50mph winds and soon we found ourselves trapped in a rain storm. I had to rush out into the cold and wet night to help Hubert because his Zastrugi Vaquita tent was being pummeled by the gale force wind and was eventually ripped out of the ground!
