A Seashore Adventure
During our trip to Scotland with my friend we stayed one night at a bothy on the top of a cliff on the seashore.
We arrived there at midnight in the pouring rain. My friend had a head torch on his head and a more powerful torch in his hand lighting our way. As I walked behind him and he often moved forward to find out where a path is, I walked part of the way in complete darkness.
When we got to the cliff, the rain was lashing. We tried a few places to climb up, but all they were steep and slippery rocks. We realized that we can only climb up there by the ropes and fishing nets which hang down from somewhere higher up. Later thinking back to it I couldn't realize how I had managed to climb it with my backpack on my shoulders and an umbrella and a bag full of water in my hands.
It was quite nice there inside of the bothy and the weather was warm next day. We swam in the sea. I was afraid to get into the water first, because it was cold. I think it was barely higher than 10-12°. But after I entered it and swam a few meters, I got warm.
One more couple arrived later. They were English man and woman who came there just to look at the bothy and celebrate a birthday of the woman whose name was Clair. We had a good time together talking about travelling and work and blogging.
I thought this bothy had been constructed as a joke, probably for children who would like all those ropes with knots and sea views pretending themselves to be sailors or pirates left at uninhabited island. But the story of the bothy was much more serious. The person who organized the construction works was a French woman who had run the trainee of saboteurs during the World War II. We saw the sign inside that it was made by volunteers at 50s. There nothing been said about the war, but I suppose it was made in memory of those who participated in trainings.

A Seashore Adventure
During our a [try not to use pronouns without a referent noun - the way you used it here it sounds like there may have been other people on the trip with you and your friend] trip to Scotland with my friend, we stayed one night at a bothy on the top of a cliff on the seashore.
We arrived there at midnight in the pouring rain. My friend had a head torch on his head [it's a head torch - where else is it going to be?] and a more powerful torch in his hand lighting our way. As I walked behind him and he often moved forward to find out where a the path is was. I walked part of the way in complete darkness.
When we got to the cliff, the rain was lashing [word choice: rain doesn't really lash (verb form), so it is not clear what you mean here - maybe pelting, which means a heavy or strong rain, you might also use lashing as an adjective as in there was a lashing rain, which gives the meaning that it felt like it was whipping or stinging your skin]. We tried a few places to climb up, but all they of them were steep and had slippery rocks. We realized that we can could only climb up there to the bothy by using the ropes and fishing nets which hang hung [or hanged] down from somewhere higher up. Later, thinking back to it, I couldn't realize how was amazed that I had managed to climb it with my backpack on my shoulders and an umbrella and a bag full of water in my hands. It was quite nice there inside of the bothy.
The weather was warm next day. W, so we swam in the sea. [These two are closely related so they can be joined into one sentence] I was afraid to get into the water at first, because it was cold. I think it was barely higher than 10-12°. But after I entered it and swam a few meters, I got warm felt more comfortable. [Not a grammar issue here, I just think this is closer to your intended meaning, but maybe you did feel warm, that can sometimes happen in really cold water.]
I thought [imagined might be a better word here] this bothy had been constructed as a joke, probably for children, who would like all those ropes with knots, and the sea views and pretending themselves to be sailors or pirates (who were) left at on an uninhabited island. But the story of the bothy was much more serious. The person who organized the construction works was a French woman who had run the trainee training of saboteurs during the World War II. We saw the a sign inside that said it was made by volunteers at during the 50s. There was nothing been said about the war, but I suppose it was made in memory of those who participated in trainings.
