Morning Coffee
Early morning coffee before the rain.

Frozen Walk
Aviemore Orbital Path
Craigellachie National Nature Reserve
I was using a homemade stove burning Dragon gel fuel. I needed the bandana as insulation, when sitting, from the frozen bench.
Morning Coffee
Filter coffee and breakfast, whilst still in my sleeping, listening to the rain outside on the tent.

I didn’t go up, but walked down to Coniston Water and walked along the lake side.
By the lake side I found a quiet spot to brew up. This time I had taken my miniature Alpkit Kraku stove and my titanium canteen cook set. Using gas means it is quick a minute or two to boil a mug of water and no residue so the coffee can be made in the pot/mug. Unlike the coffee stop on Thursday.

The River Keer again with snow and coffee
It was not much snow but it did snow overnight. The plan was get out as early as possible after coffee, a cooked breakfast and checking my email.
The walk
Coffee
I found a convenient stone step to sit on and set up my stove. Fortunately being the middle of winter I could use the hole in the wall style without being disturbed by other walkers.
I could not help my shadow in the photo and show the bridge.
I used a solid fuel stove today as it is easy to carry. Two of the fuel tablets boiled 400ml of water in about five minutes – not quickly but silently so it did not disturb the view.
The downside is the residue and taste left on the titanium mug, hence the Sea-to-Summit collapsible mug to make the coffee in and drink from. The bottom of the mug needed a quick clean – a rub on the damp grass – before repacking.

Walking along the River Witham
I took the morning off and Jeremy and I went for a walk, in the spring sun, along the River Witham at Southrey.
There had to be a stop for coffee.
