Walk and a coffee

The meeting this afternoon was cancelled so I took the opportunity to at last walk further than just round the village.

Sierra cup and British Army Stove

I bought this stove back in January but have not had an opportunity to use it. I keep it in a pack in the boot of the car, with the Sierra cup, some water and coffee, for days like today when I had not planned for a brew stop.

BCB stove

It worked OK but there were a lot of flames and it left more residue in the stove than I expected. But it was compact, easy to carry with three pots of fuel and a wind shield packed inside it and it boiled about 300ml of water on one fuel portion (in windy conditions). As a stand-by stove with well packed fuel for long term storage it is just what I was looking for.

With a good day forecast and temperatures of 12c – I went for a walk along the coast at Findhorn.

I found a convenient post to sit on for lunch and to act as a wind break from the stiff sea breeze for my alcohol stove. Lunch was an award winning haggis and chicken pie from a baker in Forres, an apple and coffee with cream.
