Looking at this lovely photo it is hard to imagine that last night and this am it was pouring with rain, thunder lightening (oh baby it frightening etc etc). I was woken by thunder and rain about 0300. A minor tent problem kept me busy. I had problems erecting the pole after the wind dislodged it. I will leave the childish comments re this to the usual suspects. Don’t let me down (!)

This morning I had to pack as best as I could as the rain could have been set for the day. Inevitably my kit got a bit damp. Fortunately the dry bag saved the important stuff.

It brightened by 1200 and I got some great looks as I hung my tent plus sleep bag and liner in olive trees along the road side.

It has stayed dry since and is s beautiful sunny evening now, I’m pitched on some scrub land about 250 yards from a motorway but noone will be coming here. Let’s see if hurricanes or savage wild animals are tonights entertainment.
