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?
Web page photo
Today’s photo is an illustration for a new page on my website – backpacking first aid kit.
Frozen moss
It is a cold frozen morning here in Essex today. These clumps of moss are on an old concrete coal bunker in my Mother’s garden and with the ice and the concrete it has washed most of the colour from the shot.
