Camping – The Viking Way – Woodhall Spa

Viking Way

Things that happened on this backpacking trip

  • I saw a grass snake – it was about a meter long and lying on the path just outside Horncastle near the old lock. Before I could get my iPhone out it had slipped away into the long grass.
  • I scratched the screen protector on my iPhone – not the screen.
  • I had a great view of the Lancaster flying over Woodhall Spa.

Walking and Camping

I am backpacking today from outside Horncastle to the Camping and Caravan Club site near Woodhall Spa.

It is not a very long walk so I have one or two bits of extra gear with me as the pack weight is not critical. I have a 10Ah power supply for my iphone as I plan to watch a couple of videos tonight. I have a Chicken Chow Mein microwave meal with me so I have packed my larger Alpkit MiTiMug to cook it in as well as bringing my smaller titanium mug/cook pot.

For a change the weather is perfect – so I have packed extra water and one of my bottles contains an electrolyte drink.

Stuck in a warehouse

I have spent my day at a client’s waiting for British Gas – they want to change an electric meter, I am here to turn off, and then, restart the servers.

I got here in plenty of time for their 11am to 1pm appointment. I was ready. It is now 1.30pm and no word from them. They gave themselves a two hour window which they missed – it is a shame they don’t have a mobile phone with them!
