I dislike walking in strong wind because of the way it seems to suck the breath out of you. Do others experience that (and perhaps they can describe it better)?
I once experienced a gale in the night in Snowdonia that kept bringing my tent down. The strongest gusts ripped the pegs out, until I went out and carried rocks back one at a time and looped each guy around them. I could hear each gust coming before it hit me. I was later told they were up to 70 m.p.h.
