Guitar George
Up close on an electric guitar
I dropped by Guitar George today to help with some email problems and whilst there this guitar was on his bench for a repair.
Backpacking Gear for 2015 – Therm-a-Rest are a bit cheap! @Thermarest
I have made some changes to this year’s backpacking gear, replacing some failures, a few new things and a few Christmas presents.
See the new page here.
This Neoair XLite mat is probably the biggest change this year – the valve failed on my old mat – this one packs smaller and weighs less than the old mat.
However Therm-a-Rest were a bit mean with their £120 mat as there is no stuff sack supplied to protect it!

Back to work
Back to work today, so the photo of the day is a computer screen!
The main job today was sorting several projects to replace Windows 2003 servers, which reach their “end of life” later this year.
New gear – NeoAir Xlite sleeping mat
I was given the money at Christmas to buy a replacement sleeping mat as the valve on my Alpkit mat had failed.
I wanted something very comfortable:
This is what I bought – a NeoAir Xlite mat.
It meets all the above points he real test will be when I use it. Hopefully it will last longer than the Alpkit Numo mat as it cost almost three times as much!

Home and a visit to StarShipSofa HQ
It was time to drive home today but on the way I took a slight detour and stopped off for coffee and a bacon sandwich with Tony at StarShipSofa HQ.
Highlight of the day was to see (and touch) his Hugo Award!

Rain
It is raining hard here this morning – so that stopped the planned walk. Here is a shot of the Cairngorm Mountains through the rain.
