Octagon today @OctagonT @ImpsPremierPlus @LincolnCity_FC

I am working again today from a box at Lincoln City Football Club.

Earlier in the week I photographed the ground in the sunshine, today the ground staff are getting the pitch ready for tomorrow in the pouring rain.

I am going to the match, so tomorrow’s “photo of the day” is likely to be a LCFC photo as well.

Late lunch, Birch Wood, Southrey

Having spent most of the day at a successful meeting Dolly Char in Horncastle – I stopped on the way home to eat my sandwiches.

Camping coffee

This morning I had packed a small bottle of water and my backpacking cook set, in my work bag, just in case the sun came out. It did, so I pulled over at a spot I have used before, for lunch. (That day I posted the 1000th post to this blog.)

A short walk into the wood I found some convenient logs to set up on and made some fresh coffee.

Luckily the spot also had a good phone signal, as having been in a long meeting, I had to deal with a number of phone calls now I had stopped for lunch!

Walking near Sudbrooke

I took the MX-5 out this morning and drove over to Sudbrooke. I had been looking at the OS map and there is an interesting network of paths around Sudbrooke.

Tea break - traditional canvas and leather rucksack

I was using a mix of old and new gear today. On the way out I stopped off and bought some Karrimor walking shoes. The pack I was using was my brother-in-law Phil’s, a traditional canvas, leather and brass rucksack. It is a useful size for a day pack or overnight bag but if it not packed carefully, or packed too heavy it is uncomfortable to carry. The walking shoes on the other hand were very comfortable. I am planning to use them rather than my Berghaus boots, for lighter, good weather walking, such and this morning.
