This umbrella made an unexpectedly cosy lil nook! It wasn’t watertight, so I chucked a small tarp over it (which defeats the object of using the umbrella I guess, but I still loved it under there). My first experience of sleeping wild during a thunderstorm was just gorgeous

⚠ It's never entirely safe to be outside in a thunderstorm. If you find yourself outside during one, lose elevation and get to lower ground as fast as possible. Get away from peaks and ridges. Stay out of water. Stay away from tall objects in open spaces. Caves and stone huts may feel safer, but actually offer zero protection against lightning. Trees can be hit and can fall down, or be set on fire. In this case, the storm was always a few miles away and never directly overhead. This is still not entirely riskfree, as lightning can travel several miles, but it is safer than being directly under a thunderstorm. Your chance of being hit by lightning is extremely low – but it still happens
