The National Forest Way passes by Wychnor Park Country Club – so before it got too hot this morning I walked out to the River Trent along the path.
Along the way, I found a suitable spot for to brew a coffee, out in the countryside but definitely in the shade – my bush hat can only keep so much sun off me.
This squirrel came for breakfast.

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.

The route I took today was out near Kirkby Green.
I found a spot out of the wind – after the rain stopped – for lunch. Tinned mushroom soup, buttered sourdough bread and coffee. The smoke was because I used some hexamine solid fuel tablets to heat the soup and water, but once I used them I remembered why they we still in my fuel box several years after I had bought them.
Compared to the Fire Dragon gel fuel the hexamine tablets gave off pungent fumes and left a sooty residue on the mugs and stove. OK for a standby, lasts forever, fuel but not for everyday use anymore. The British Army used it for years and the first outdoors stove I bought when I was at school, from the military surplus department in Millers of Grays, was an army folding cooker which included eight large blocks of hexamine.
