Backpacking to Woodhall Spa – Photographs

Here are some of the photographs from my weekend walk to Woodhall Spa.

Overnight Backpacking Trip to Woodhall Spa

Bardney

I have some new gear for this trip, a smaller (lighter) sleeping bag and sleeping mat which means my 50l Golite Jam backpack is now not full when I pack it for just an overnight walk. See my current overnight backpacking kit list here.

Weather

The weather forecast was showing a freezing night – and it was.

The cold weather gave a great sunrise and it did not last long – it was getting warmer by the time I had my second coffee of the morning. The new down sleeping bag kept me warmer than the one I was using last year and the Alpkit mat is very comfortable.

Backpacking to Woodhall Spa pt1

The weather looks spring like this weekend – so I have packed my bag and set off to camp at Woodhall Spa. It was not an early start so I got a lift to Bardney.

It is a cool day and promises to freeze tonight but I am depending on my new down sleeping bag and winter long underwear to keep me warm enough.
