Working at the Football Ground Today
The main room at the BANC was in use today so I ended up working in one of the boxes.

Saturday Morning
As it is forecast to be poor weather tomorrow I went for a walk this morning. The temperature was showing -6c, sunny with no wind and dry powder snow it was a great photo opportunity.
I found a suitable tree stump and made made some hot chocolate. Following my experience in the Lake District a couple of weeks ago, when the meths were too cold to light, I had carried the fuel bottle in an inside jacket pocket – this fixed the problem.
I am trying out another wind shield for my light weight stove – this one is made of thick aluminium foil and wraps closely around the mug and stove. In some very windy conditions I have found that the rigid wind shield, I usually use, lets too much wind through and I am concerned that when I head off to the Lake District in a couple months to wild camp that it will not provide enough protection. However there was no breeze today so it was no test for new wind shield – but I am sure it will be windy on my next walk!
Sunday Walk
With plans in the future to walk the Southern Upland Way and the Speyside Way, I am planning to try and get a walk in every Sunday to keep my fitness levels up for the long distance walks. Most weeks it will simply be walking across the fields locally – as it is today.
