We got the tents up – just after it had finished raining! The rest of the afternoon has been sunny and warm.

Backpacking coffee machine
I saw the ultimate backpacking coffee machine today in Truro.
It comes with your own personal barista who, I am sure, would drive it along behind you as you walk! So not adding any extra weight to your backpack.

Grantham
Following meetings in Lincoln I then had to go to Grantham to survey a small office network. Finding a car park space was a challenge – however on the way out of the car park I found my picture for the day.
“No Cycles”
First job of the day was in Newark and whilst I was waiting for the office to open I spotted this.
Walking and Camping Photos The Viking Way
It has been an great weekend for the weather, I was sitting by the lake at the campsite until late last night and only needed to use my down sleeping bag as a quilt overnight a big difference from the Peak District trip last weekend.

I carried a tin of food rather than a dehydrated meal – the extra weight was worth it – tasty “Lamb Big Soup “

More Peak District
We got the tents down this morning and managed to eat our breakfast outside before the rain came along.
Today’s plan was to get some photos and a coffee before heading home. We got the tea, coffee and Derbyshire Oatcakes with bacon at Stocks Cafe, Chapel-en-le-Frith. I’d recommend a visit there to anyone.
Why Stocks Cafe? Here is the answer.
We moved on from there to Blue John Cavern and Edale.
There was a living roof on the Visitor Centre in Edale.
The Kinder Trespass started from Edale in 1932.

Peak District
As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.
First stop was Bakewell.
We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)
Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.
Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.
Sheepwash Bridge
Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.
