National Forest Way to the River Trent
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.

Widemouth Bay
I went out early and had my breakfast overlooking Widemouth Bay, before attending the weekly staff meeting via Teams – in the car, in the rain!
South West Coast Path
After the meeting, the rain stopped, so I walked down to the beach along the South West Coast Path.

Coffee on the way back.
Solid fuel folding stove, with a MSR titanium mug – with two tin foil wind shields – it was really windy!
Walking along the River Witham
I took the morning off and Jeremy and I went for a walk, in the spring sun, along the River Witham at Southrey.
There had to be a stop for coffee.

Walking in Craigellachie National Nature Reserve
Craigellachie National Nature Reserve
The weather this morning was bright and clear – excellent for walking in the snow, as long as you take gloves, hat, warm jacket, decent boots, thick socks, etc, etc.
The snow in most places was a couple of inches deep although from time to time it was much deeper.
My boot sunk in more than a foot of snow
Craigellachie National Nature Reserve is a short walk from Scandinavian Village and is very close to Aviemore – it is a great place to explore and take photos.
The lake was frozen and had this mysterious “Superman” logo on the ice.
I cleared the snow from the end of a bench and had a brew up, using my MSR Titanium mug and Alpkit Kraku stove, a great lightweight and efficient combination in the cold weather. Hot tea and cake, sitting in the winter sun shine.
I forgot to pack my sit mat so I had to sit on my gloves and hat as the icy bench was far to cold to sit on without insulation.
