Trip notes

A quick dash out the house when the days were still short led for a long time in a tent atop a hill - a welcome break. The simple pleasure of cooking food and listening to some radio. I bulked up for extra warmth with a quilt to top my sleeping bag and a hot water bottle - could have done with just a dash more fuel to get it piping hot but alas I was never cold.

• Location not shared

Strong pitch but I had not used the tent in a while and with winds picking up in the night I should have done it tighter - as the outer was banging against the inner.
