in the lee

v závětří

there was no natural cover, camouflage nets were slung over the trucks, while the men tended to disperse themselves some distance away, preferably in the lee of a rock. BNC

The preferred spot is in the lee of a tall hedge; it does a marvellous job of breaking up gale force winds. BNC
