The start of today’s walk

Having arrived in Aviemore this morning and unpacked, I went for a short walk even though it was raining. I headed out towards the Logging Path to find that parts of the woods where I regularly walk are flooded.
We went for a short walk this morning around the grounds of Thurnham Hall.
Thurnham Hall is a great place to stay – the villa we have is well equipped and the facilities on site are excellent. The only downside is the complete lack of free wifi to the accommodation – you can buy wifi access via Swisscom – a quick search of my blog will show you what I think of this service, which has never worked for me. So be careful when you see “free wifi” in the Diamond Resorts advertising, you can get free wifi in the bar (probably), but in your flat or villa for comfortable, available internet access you will be expected to pay Swisscom.
I got out for an early morning walk today – rather then heading towards the Witham, I went out through the village, across the fields towards Waddington.
I packed my breakfast, some of the cold roast pork, from last night’s dinner, crackers, some dried mango and pineapple. I took my meths stove, titanium mug and lid and brewed some fresh coffee when I stopped. The dried fruit was something new I was trying – I bought it because it looked the right size and weight for breakfast when I am backpacking.
The label said it had nothing added, so the pineapple and mango bits looked a little odd, were very dry, but tasted great. So it looks like breakfasts in future will be Pop Tarts and Bear Fruit.
I found a wall to sit on – and because it was damp and cold, my hat was useful insulation

Having posted a work photo for photo of the day, I thought I would go back and post one of the images from yesterday’s walk that I did not use on the blog.
