Calm before the storm

I seem to have got my dates a little muddled! 
Yesterday was the day that we travelled over Mull to Tobermory and then on to the mainland to Ardnamurcan. 

Camping here for 3 nights..... But..... 
Lordy..... We hit the storm and I'm not going to pretend my heart didn't miss the odd beat in the tent! 
I've been in a tent in the wind loads of times.... But not this strong! 
We pinned every inch we could down and even bought some extra strong tent pegs from the camp shop. 
It wasn't even possible to take the tent down and move on cos it probably would have blown away with the wind that had built up over night! 
We supposedly got up to 45mph gusts.... And let's just just say I didn't get alot of sleep! 

We had a plan..... If the tent starts to fail we'll grab the boys, dogs and sleeping bags and all jump in the car!
( I'm sure Mr J even slept with his little army knife so he could rip the tent open if needed!)
