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.

Speyside Way

Today we walked a section of the Speyside Way starting at Cragganmore and heading north. For the lunch stop we found a bench down by the riverside – no midges.
