Amber warning Storm Isha at High Willhays 80mph+ winds in the Hilleberg Nallo 2.

21.01.2024
Storm Isha with amber weather warning for 80mph+ at High Willhays. First proper test for the Hilleberg Nallo 2, used double poles, delta pegs and triple pegged everywhere else. I was fully prepared for this and had taken all relevant precautions. I do of course realise this is not the “proper” place to pitch a tent, however I have the correct kit and experience to cope with it. This was a challenge for me and my kit, to see how I cope in deteriorating conditions and I never felt unsafe at any point.
The water coming in through the black vent material meant that the vestibule was unusable and through hanging my coat and gaiters behind it, prevent most of that water going into the inner, that being said I pitched the tent according to Hilleberg’s instructions. Apart from that, I feel the tent coped extremely well in 80mph winds, the winds did shift direction by the morning and was putting a bit more pressure on the main pole, if that hadn’t happened, I feel it could have coped with single poles.
