I parked in the same place I did on Saturday and walked north(ish) towards Bude – taking as many opportunities as possible to make images.
The light was particularly good as the weather was overcast – so no hard shadows but it did mean the distance was a bit hazy.
First order is the day was find somewhere for breakfast with a great view. With this is mind I found an out of the way drop in the cliff down to a spot – out of the wind but where the main sound was the crash of the waves.
The plastic box is an up-cycled cake box. Breakfast was home baked wholemeal bread with cheese spread and homemade plum jam. Of course I brewed fresh coffee.
The biscuits (Oreo’s and breakfast biscuits), apple and fried rice is for lunch or snacks. In the box is also milk, curtesy of the hotel, a vegetable stock cube and soy sauce.

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

I went out to the Lincolnshire coast near Saltfleet and Rimac, walking along the beach and across the sand dunes.
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.

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.
