Sleaford
I have spent the day in Sleaford at a client meeting but I did manage to find some time for this shot.
Trying new backpacking food
Richard bought some different backpacking food to try out – we did not take it with us this weekend, just in case we didn’t like it. So I tried it for tea this evening.
The food comes in a sturdy pouch, that will stand up and has notches for easy opening. You can cook it in a pot or in the bag and, if you pack a microwave you could use that.
I cooked mine in the microwave. Both Jeremy and I liked it. It was a good taste without being spicy.
There was a good balance of lentils and beans to sauce. The 300g portion is a good size serving after a day’s walking, some crackers would soak up the sauce, or depending on your appetite noodles or rice.
Following this test we are planing to use these in future.

Saturday
Above is Richard’s homemade meths burner in action – the bottom section is the stove surrounded by an aluminium windshield, sitting in a foil container, on top of that is his titanium mug and the lid is a small enamelled, metal bowl. The flames are the flames!

Walking to Woodhall Spa from Coningsby pt2
We set off for Coningsby at about 2pm. Even though we are carrying our kit, we managed to fill the car boot with the rucksacks.
The path went right across the fishing lake.
We have a very nice pitch by the lake.
