    I’ve had the cloud up 2 for a few years used it a handful of times, now got the cloud peak 2. They are good tents the cloud up ideal for this camp as you had a steep climb and it’s light but I’ve started to notice things like zips snagging. I’ve recently got an MSR access 1 4 season and want to get a soulo at some point, I don’t feel 100% in the Naturehike when there is any wind although I camped on kinder scout in the cloud up 2 and winds got over 40 and apart from slightly bending in it stood firm. Great video Ash hoping to visit Snowdonia for the first time tomorrow to do a camp. Dave
