I am going to the Lake District next weekend so I thought I had better get a couple of miles walking in this weekend – so a quick walk down to the River Witham across the fields.
I took a brew kit and waterproof jacket with me and used the Molle water bottle case Diana recently bought me.
The case is large enough to hold a 600ml Sigg bottle, my titanium mug with lid, meths stove, 50ml of fuel, the makings for tea and still have enough room to pack the other small items in my kitchen kit and some food. I strap the rain coat and a sit mat to the outside.
The case can hold a 1l bottle, by using a smaller bottle I can pack extra equipment – the 600ml bottle is enough for two hot drinks. I am planning to use the case when backpacking to carry my lunch and brew kit in, so I do not have to open the main pack when I stop for lunch.
My lunch was freshly brewed Indian Spiced Tea with crackers and spicy lamb kebabs. The kebabs were made from scratch, by Jeremy, last night for my Father’s Day meal. The leftover patties, I took with me, were even more delicious when eaten cold whilst sitting out in the countryside.

This poppy was in a neighbour’s garden and is in better conditions than the one I photographed on Friday.
