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.

Securing the lid of a titanium canteen

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.

Walking – Lincolnshire Coast

/ Lincolnshire / , , , , , , , , ,

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.

Walking along the River Slea

/ Walking / , , , , , , ,

Just like last week I walked along the River Slea, with a haversack load and made coffee but this time I went in the other direction from the car park.

The wind shield I made earlier this week was a success.

No coffee bags this week – I packed a titanium Sierra cup and I used the drip method.

So I tried the other section of the path but to be honest it is not as interesting as walking through the woods last week.
