| 288 With the worst of the storm now past and only an hour's worth of daylight remaining, you decide to camp amongst the boulders for the night. It is not the best campsite but it will provide an effective barrier against the wind that still blows stiffly from the north. Most of the heavy cloud has moved on southwards and in the hastening gloom of the dusk you can see the first appearance of a few early stars. Wrapping your heavy travel cloak tightly about you, you make camp within the formation of boulders and then find a suitable tether for Pallenten. She still suffers from the effects of the storm and it will be necessary for her to be kept out of the wind. The best place for her is inside the rock shelter under the lee of the boulder pile. In the encroaching dark you watch the sky clear of cloud and begin to fill with a bright multitude of stars. From the north the wind rushes on, bitterly cold and full of the promise of further bad weather.
