Testing the Helm Compact 1 in some Challenging Conditions & Cooking a Curry on the Trangia Stove

In todays adventure we head to our local fells for a wild camp. Once again the weather reports were for clear skies, light winds and little rain, so our thoughts were for a quiet wild camp on the summit with some photography thrown in.

How wrong were we, the winds were brutal and once the rain started it never stopped, the cloud also descended leaving us with zero visibility. Once at the camp location and the Helm Compact 1 was set up we were tent bound for the rest of the night, however I did manage to cook a nice curry on the Trangia Stove in the tent.

During the night the tent was punished with some challenging winds and rain but the Helm Compact 1 stood up to the challenge and took the conditions in its stride. The morning brought little change to the weather so a quick coffee and porridge knocked up on the Trangia was in order before breaking camp and heading for home.

I can't explain how happy I was on how the tent coped with the conditions throughout the night, it's only the second time I've used this tent and it has given me some confidence in taking it out in these conditions again.
