Just after midnight I was woken by a terrific gust of wind flattening the tent over me. The tent was battered side to side in ferocious winds. These weren't in the forecast. It wasn't possible to get much sleep but I went out just before light to replace some tent pegs which had been pulled out. One tent pole was bent at the end and I could only hope that it stayed in place. I'd estimate the gusts were over 60pmh and the tent took a considerable battering all through the morning. There was no hope of continuing today as I couldn't even stand up in the wind, let alone try and pack the tent away. I decided to stay put and hope the wind would drop a bit. The rain continued all through the morning but didn't seem as heavy as the forecast had said.

Nothing to see today but rain.
