Lauder Common

Because of an afternoon conference call for a client, I only had time for a short morning walk.

There was a convenient bench up in the hills for a tea break.

I had packed my titanium meths stove for this trip – my Alpkit gas stove o-ring seal has been giving me some problems. It was completely still, when I came to make some tea later in the evening, so I sat at the picnic table and brewed up.

And a “VR”.

I spent a showery afternoon, in the car, drinking tea and watching videos on my iPhone.

A day in Edinburgh

I went into Edinburgh today to meet up with Jeremy, geocaching then took us to a part of the city we had not visited before.
