A good reason to fix your tent to the ground really well...

Or to not put a tent up on open ground in winds that are strong enough to uproot trees

I vaguely remember reading a story last year about a guy getting blown off a hill or mountain in his tent and dying.

Not nice

83 years old, poor guy

What do you mean poor guy ? he was 83 years old and he was still camping ! brilliant, he died doing something he obviously loved, I hope I'm that lucky.

fair play to you. sounds like he didn't stand a chance. I think at 83 a hammock might be a time consuming rxperience getting in and out in the middle of the night.

I thought he got hit by a marquee type of thing at a golf place rather than camping... hang
on I'll need to read it again... yep.

Pretty grim stuff.

 

[SOAR]

Yeh thats pretty sad

 

[Gailainne]

Your right Jodie, s.o.r.r.y.(see they havent fixed that yet) SOAR, all, looks like he was a collateral victim.

Old bugger was still wondering about a golf course at 83 tho
