Bridge over the Trent
I was working in Newark again today. So before going to the client’s I walked down to this bridge to get my “photo of the day”.

Newark Castle
I was setting a network up today, for a client in Newark. As the office was near to the river and the castle it was a good opportunity to go out after the job was finished, to get the “photo of the day”.
I took a variety of shots, both normal and HDR to try and balance out the heavy shadows. But I chose this shot of Newark Castle and the river, taken using the Apple camera app and HDR. The boat was in just the right place to balance out the dark shadows in the bottom left hand corner.
Bath
Here are a few photographs from my business trip to Bath earlier this week.

Camping Food
Camping Food
I am going camping next weekend, probably to the Peak District. The plan is to get a cooked breakfast on the way, spend the day walking and taking photographs then onto a campsite for the night. I am not backpacking with this food, it is a car based trip.
As I am away next week on business I am sorting the gear and camping food this weekend. Packed in the bag above is the evening meal, breakfast and the extras! Not shown in the photo is trail food for the Saturday and some apples.
Trail Food
I am going the add a banana or apple to this – and I am planning to get my Alpkit Kraku stove out along the way to make the 2-in-1 coffee. Hygiene is essential when camping and walking, hence the hand wipe and napkin.
Evening meal
Once the tent is up I am having soup and crackers.
Chicken Chow Mein is a microwave meal from the supermarket. I am going to empty the contents of both packs into my Alpkit MiTiMug, heat, stir and eat. Instant custard for dessert.
Extras
There are tea bags and dried milk in the red neoprene pouch.
The two 60ml Nalgene bottles contain fresh ground coffee and dried milk. If fresh milk is available at the campsite I shall buy some.
Some of the mint chocolate is going to be broken up and added to the hot instant custard.
The breakfast biscuits are for having with my early morning tea whilst still in my sleeping bag.
Breakfast
I am going to mix the jam and dried fruit into the porridge – which can be made with either dried or fresh milk. The yogurt flakes I will eat with fresh coffee.
I am heading home after breakfast so no lunch.
Walking Today
There was an excellent sunrise this morning that I watched through the patio windows of my lodge, which look out over the lake. I posted one of the early sunrise images as my “Photo of the Day”. Below is a later shot as the sky went pink.
I went for two shorter walks today. The first was along the coast near Barrow-in-Furness.
The second was up into the hills near Whicham.
