Lauder Common

Because of an afternoon conference call for a client, I only had time for a short morning walk.

I had packed my titanium meths stove for this trip – my Alpkit gas stove o-ring seal has been giving me some problems. It was completely still, when I came to make some tea later in the evening, so I sat at the picnic table and brewed up.

And a “VR”.

I spent a showery afternoon, in the car, drinking tea and watching videos on my iPhone.

I woke during the night to hear the patter of snow on my tent, but as I was warm in my goose down sleeping bag, I went back to sleep.
