Spring weather
Richard, Richard and I had plans this weekend to go camping and walking in the Lake District, but it looks like the weather will change the plans. Snow and freezing nights.
Iron work
One of the clients I visited today is based in North Kyme – I saw this detail on one of the older houses in the village.
Camping next week
It has been a wet day here in Lincolnshire so that put a stop to a planned walk. I also had some work to catch up on.
However I am planning a camping trip for next weekend, so I have taken some time today to sort through my gear.
As part of my ongoing project to keep my camping gear lightweight I have changed my sleeping mat for a much lighter and smaller Alpkit Numo air mattress. The photo shows the difference in size and the weight saving is about 500g.
You can download a spread sheet that lists the weight of my backpacking gear from the free download page.
Chicken
It looks like a cat.
My Mum called her cat “Chicken”. I wonder how many other cats are named chicken?
