I was busy today with meetings and a report but there was time to walk out for a lunch break with a view.
I tried out a homemade stove today for the first time out in the field… and the wind. The tin held Vaseline lip balm and the trivet fits a Trangia burner and it works with both alcohol gel or fuel tablets. The stand is made from three layers of hardboard to hold the stove steady and to insulate it from the ground or seat.

I had just made my coffee and toast for breakfast when the power went out – and stayed off until about 2pm. I got on with my work and meetings on battery power and my phone’s internet but the issue was tea and coffee and eventually lunch. So out with the backpacking gear.
I then remembered I had packed a gas canister so I switched stoves.
It was raining on and off but I headed for a quiet bit of the coast for some walking as Sunday and Monday look to be the best days.
Yet again I attempted to photograph the sea arch at the Strangles beach – I got nearer this time but the rocks were far too wet to scramble over.
