Walking near Branston

For the first time in several weeks, I was able to get out for a couple of miles walking near Branston. The route took me out across the fields. It was a blustery day so it made taking some of the photos difficult as the subjects were moving a lot. However the bursts of bright sun shine made for some interesting shots.

Of course there was coffee. I found a sheltered spot beside some woods for a stop.

Today made using my titanium meths stove, folding handle, steel REI Sierra cup and the lid I made from the bottom of a cake tin.

Milicano instant coffee use the packet to stir in my Sierra cup

Nothing fancy today, instant Milicano coffee stirred with the empty packet.

This is a really compact kit for a brew whilst walking – all the gear I took with me this morning went into my jacket pockets. The ground sheet I sat on is the same off cut that I use in the door of my MSR Hubba backpacking tent.
