Camping in the Peak District pt4
The weather was variable today so I planned a short circular walk out into the hills and back through Hayfield – see here it shows all the weather in one photo.

It was a good walk the only problem was I could not find a cafe in Hayfield, several pubs and hotels none of them very inviting – all I wanted was tea and a sandwich, so I ended up just walking back to the camp site where I made my own sitting out in the sun shine.

Mount Famine
With the variable weather I walked out to Mount Famine and then back to the campsite via Hayfield village.

I was being severely buffeted by the wind whilst I was making this panoramic shot and after three attempts I had to stop as my hands were getting too cold. Ten minutes later as I was coming down from the summit the sun came out!
Walking in Lincolnshire
A short walk across the fields today – with Spring finally showing.
I found a convenient style and made some tea.

Backpacking to Woodhall Spa – Photographs
Here are some of the photographs from my weekend walk to Woodhall Spa.
Overnight Backpacking Trip to Woodhall Spa
I have some new gear for this trip, a smaller (lighter) sleeping bag and sleeping mat which means my 50l Golite Jam backpack is now not full when I pack it for just an overnight walk. See my current overnight backpacking kit list here.
some of my route was along the Viking Way

The weather forecast was showing a freezing night – and it was.

The cold weather gave a great sunrise and it did not last long – it was getting warmer by the time I had my second coffee of the morning. The new down sleeping bag kept me warmer than the one I was using last year and the Alpkit mat is very comfortable.

Walking
With the unseasonal Easter weather I had to postpone this weekend’s backpacking trip – I am not equipped for such sustained cold weather when backpacking. I did get out for a day walking today – across the fields near where I live, but using some paths I had not used before.
One of the paths ran in the hedgerow.
I found somewhere out of the cold wind for lunch.
