We woke up on 4th Feb to very high gusty winds - looked out of the window and couldn't see one of our tents! Went outside to investigate and found it had tried to go for a walk!! It was still anchored by 1 peg but even the heavy duty pegs had been pulled out!Luckily it was the storage tent and not the kitchen one - we keep the bags of dirty washing in it - amongst other things and I had visions of walking around the site and finding our dirty underwear scattered around! However we were lucky and nothing had been scattered! Some things were very wet but it had actually stopped raining by the time the tent disappeared so most things were dry!
It didn't take us too long to get it all back together and nothing was damaged - even the tent was OK. Those tents were a good buy from Decathlon!
The tent is now anchored even better with more heavy duty pegs and it's even tied to the tree! More gales are forecast this weekend (end Feb) so we'll have our fingers crossed!
