Rain and Fog
The weather changed my plans.
The hotel grounds has some great picnic spots so that is as far as I walked today for a brew. Indian Chai with a view of the River.

Wales Coastal Path – Plas Talgarth
I walked a short distance on the Wales Coastal Path today – just far enough to find somewhere scenic to make lunch.

Walking – Lincolnshire Coast
I went out to the Lincolnshire coast near Saltfleet and Rimac, walking along the beach and across the sand dunes.
Coffee Time and new gear
A new 1.1l water bottle, a nesting mug with a lid, all titanium. The canteen carrier has a shoulder strap and belt loops and a pocket for the lid.
It was a birthday present from my family.
It is excellent. Lightweight, sturdy and well made. The carrier is snug, put the mug and the bottle in first then slide in the lid and cinch down the restraining strap.
The bottle provided water for four hot drinks throughout the day.

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.
Lightweight walking kit
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.
