Breakfast on Sunday Morning

4 April 2021 / Walking / black and white, coffee, food, Lincolnshire, outdoor gear, Photos 2021, walking

Coffee and croissants in the sun.

The stove is a “Bushcraft Essentials” twig burning wood stove with an insert for alcohol gel fuel – the insert was the bottom of a small tin of Burt’s Bees lip balm. It is not the most efficient stove but a good stand-by stove to carry with my brew kit. One measure of fuel – about 20ml – is enough to heat about 300ml of water to coffee or stock cube soup temperature. I use an up-cycled hand sanitiser bottle (60ml) to carry the fuel.

Walking

Spring is here today – I did not really need the jacket but it made a good seat. Coffee from a flask not a stove.

Afternoon walk

26 February 2021 / Photography / black and white, Branston, coffee, iPhone photography, outdoor gear, Potterhanworth, sunset, walking

Out from Branston to Potterhanworth and back.

I travelled light – I carried the makings for my break in my jacket cargo pockets. Small flask, titanium Sierra cup with a folding handle, Alpkit folding spoon, instant Aldi barista coffee and some Malt Wheaties. I packed the gear in the cup and wrapped it in the bandana to stop things rattling and to protect my pocket from the ends of the cup handle.

Coffee whilst walking — Coffee on a rock!

The plastic sheet I sat on was folded and went in my trouser cargo pocket, with my gloves.

Later there was a great sunset.

It rained

17 February 2021 / Walking / business, coffee, Hanworth Country Park, Lincolnshire, Octagon Technology, outdoor gear, walking

I had an article to write for Octagon today. The weather was good so rather than sit in the office and write it I went for a walk to a suitable rock where I knew I could sit and work.

Unfortunately the clouds came over and it eventually rained. At least I still had coffee.

I got the article done as well.

Short cold walk

14 February 2021 / Lincolnshire / coffee, ice, Lincolnshire, snow, walking

Rain and near freezing conditions meant no coffee on this walk and back home sooner than I had planned.

Unsurprisingly I did not see anyone else out walking the fields on such a day – including dog people!

Out for a walk

12 February 2021 / Walking / backpacking food, Branston, coffee, food, hiking food, Lincolnshire, outdoor gear, snow, sunset, walking

I went from the village on loop out towards the airfield.

I was wrong – I did take a few more snow photos.

To save time on the walk, I made the coffee at the office and took it with me in a thermos mug. For a snack dry wheaties in a small pot from my bento box – with the view below.

It was starting to get windy and cold.
