51mph gusts forecast so we set up the 10 man lavvu to test its mettle. Mild temps outside but arrival of the stainless log-burner in the back of Wood's special bus precipitated a further trial of Helsport metal. We were afeared of it so went ginger on getting her stoked, but still she glowed incandescent on her back and sides and kicked out Joules a plenty. Took a fair buffetting in the night but narry a breach of our outer skin, so after stove-top brews we slept like babies [well babies that are a bit scared they might have to run about in their underpants saving women and children from the burning tipi village].
Anyway, a soft valley autumnal toe in the water before Scotland ices over, full review in the New Year.
