Chicken walk

Walking today started in Kirkby Green, went out past a chicken farm and then on towards Martin.

I found a great quiet spot for coffee, a Milky Way and a chance to read for a while.

I made the coffee today using a Taylor Coffee Bag rather than using my homemade coffee filter. The stove I used was my mini bushcraft wood stove with Fire Dragon fuel.

The gear, including a folding stool, monocular and bush hat,went in my Finnish haversack. Some first aid items, a compass, lighter, coffee, sewing kit, a length of cord, Victorinox field Sharpening stone and duct tape went in a small belt pouch. My Victorinox Camper knife and mini Leatherman went in my pocket.

Today I only needed 500ml of water and a mini Milky Way for a short walk but I could have carried more water, lunch and a waterproof jacket in the haversack.
