Heysham
A bit of coastal walking today south of Pine Lakes.
I even found a beach cafe open for tea and a bacon bap.

Carnforth pt 3
I had planned to return by following the coast path, however when I got there the path was flooded and too soft to walk on, so I decided to follow the canal path back towards Pine Lakes. Here is bridge 129a, carrying the motorway.
Not as quaint as the other bridges.
Unfortunately the path I wanted to follow did not exist.
As the light was starting go I decided it would be better to take the road way back – there is a very good path along the main road from Carnforth to Pine Lakes. You need to be careful crossing the roads at the roundabout at the resort, and when getting around the tree which has recently fallen over blocking the path!
The walk today was on paths where it was not suitable to get my stove out to cook my lunch, so I took my flask for a hot drinks and had crackers and tinned mackrel. I had something new to drink today – Diana got me some Chai Latte sachets – just add hot water.
I like Indian tea and make it when possible with sweetened condensed milk. I keep at least one Indian tea bag in my hiking brew kit but use extra dried milk and brown sugar when I make it when walking. The sachets were very convenient and tasted excellent so I will be getting more of these for future trips.
A Walk in the Woods
A short walk in the woods yesterday.
I set out early and took some extra breakfast with me – and boiled water on my meths stove for tea, having found a convenient fallen tree, in a quiet clearing, to sit on.
I had to stand over the sapling, below, to get the frame I wanted and from that position I could not hold the iPhone steady enough, so I used the “stabiliser” finction in the Camera+ app to get a sharp image.

Sincil Bank
Today I have been using the BANC business centre at Sincil Bank, Lincoln City Football Club’s ground, for meetings and staff training. At lunchtime the team was using the lounge so we moved up to one of the boxes overlooking the ground – from where we had an excellent view of the castle and cathedral.

BBC News – Faster-than-light neutrino experiment to be run again.
So it looks like we will not be changing “all our science” in the near future, because someone or something (other than Star Trek) beat the speed of light,. Of course if the same results are recorded again, things may change.
If Einstein’s iconic work is discredited, what does this mean for the people who have PhD qualifications based on work that is now no longer valid? Do they have to give them back? How does that affect their standing in the eyes of students who they are now teaching and assessing?
Science – nothing but questions!

West Highland Way – The Train Back to Glasgow
Due to the Nevis Range being in the way the way back to Glasgow, by train, from Fort William requires us to go north to Spean Bridge and Tulloch first – a big detour. Hopefully the rain will clear from the windows so we can see the views.

More wet blurry photos to come!
the stations are quite high on this line

the West Highland Way from the moving train – near Tyndrum
We are now in a coffee bar, in Glasgow. Richard is hallucinating that the waitress looks like “Penny”. Time to go home.

West Highland Way Day 6 – Bridge of Orchy to Kinlochlen
Twenty-one miles today – Rannock Moor and Glen Coe. The weather forecast is fair for the day so I have unloaded the gaiters and over trousers.
I got to the B&B in Kinlochleven at 5pm which meant eight hours and twenty minutes on the track. I had a couple of ten minute breaks and tea on the summit above the Devil’s Staircase. The drop down from there to Kinlochleven was very steep and longer than I expected.
