Walking today
I set out to go walking in the hills above Machynlleth but the weather turned.

Furnace
Furnace is a village named after the industrial plant that is there – disused now but restored. The iron furnace was built in the village on the banks of the river in about 1755 – and processed ore bought there from Cumbria by ship.

Riverside walk
There weather forecast was poor so I followed a path out of the village along the river for a short walk and lunch.
I used the gas stove today as the wind was so strong that the alcohol stove could not deliver enough heat the boil water for Indian spiced Tea.
Back to Aberdovey beach
I have Teams meetings this afternoon so I could not go far today. The weather was good so I headed for the beach.
…and the view from the flat
I was happy to be on third floor – the view is great.

A day out
The weather was not forecast to be great today, overcast, mist and drizzle – so the plan was to head into Snowdonia National Park and see what I came across.
Aberdovey
There is a similar Bell at Morecambe.

Glasdir
Ultra-lightweight backpacking coffee filter
I have attached a length of cord to the canteen lid as it secures with only an 1/8 of a turn and I did not want it to come loose and then be lost.

The rain got a lot harder after this so lunch was in the car.
Rain and Fog
The weather changed my plans.
The hotel grounds has some great picnic spots so that is as far as I walked today for a brew. Indian Chai with a view of the River.

Walking – Lincolnshire Coast
I went out to the Lincolnshire coast near Saltfleet and Rimac, walking along the beach and across the sand dunes.
Coffee Time and new gear
A new 1.1l water bottle, a nesting mug with a lid, all titanium. The canteen carrier has a shoulder strap and belt loops and a pocket for the lid.
It was a birthday present from my family.
It is excellent. Lightweight, sturdy and well made. The carrier is snug, put the mug and the bottle in first then slide in the lid and cinch down the restraining strap.
The bottle provided water for four hot drinks throughout the day.
