Off to Scotland

Jeremy and I drove to Scotland overnight – unfortunately Diana is “kitten sitting” so did not come with us.

Having had the traditional breakfast in the Perth Tesco, we are heading up to the timeshare in Aviemore. Below is a shot taken of the highlands from a lay-by on the A9.

Walk to Potterhanworth Wood

I went for a short walk across the fields to Potterhanworth Woods – taking a short break there for some coffee before heading home and beating the thunder storm.

It was a chance to photograph the last of the poppies as they fade away and the fields before they are harvested.

No backpack or stove today – I took a flask and instant coffee in a Molle water bottle case on a shoulder strap and carried the essential waterproof jacket in the back pocket on my Rohan vest. I had plastic sheet to sit on, which when rolled up slipped into the Molle loops.

Brew Kit

I tried some Kenco Millicano coffee today – in individual sachets – and it was OK, even Richard who is “particular” about his coffee thought it was alright.
