Walking in Ostler’s Plantation – Woodhall Spa
I have the day off today (although I have a list of phone calls and emails I have to get through) – so I took the opportunity to go walking in the woods around Woodhall Spa and do the work from there. No point being a business that uses the Cloud and then being stuck in the office.
The weather is great for walking and the low November sun is doing some great things with the shadows and the autumn leaves.
I started this post, this morning but I have finished it at home as I was struggling with getting an internet connection.
I saw the cobwebs, in the photo above, early in the morning, the meadow was covered with them, all covered in dew.
I had taken lunch with me, and found a quiet place just off the path with a suitable stump to sit on. The ground, leaves and pine needles were very wet but I had taken my poncho with me which made a good seat.

Walking and Camping Photos The Viking Way
It has been an great weekend for the weather, I was sitting by the lake at the campsite until late last night and only needed to use my down sleeping bag as a quilt overnight a big difference from the Peak District trip last weekend.

I carried a tin of food rather than a dehydrated meal – the extra weight was worth it – tasty “Lamb Big Soup “

Rainbow – The Viking Way
There is a fountain in the lake at the campsite and the low early morning sun gave us an exclusive rainbow.

Walking – The Viking Way
With the end if the summer camping season rapidly approaching, and with the next two weekends booked with a server change over for a client, I have planned a short backing trip to the regular Camping and Caravan Club site near Woodhall Spa using the Viking Way.
This is also a busy weekend as I have to finish a proposal for a client to provide an integrated email solution between an office in the UK and locations in Southern Africa both in the cities and in more remote places – so using our cloud server I am planning to work that this evening on my iPhone.

The Viking Way
This sign is not as accurate as it could be – it looks like the path follows the line of the hedge, when actually the path is marked and heads across the middle of the field.
the sign is at the junction shown in the map clip as you approach the abbey ruins from Fiskerton
the path is very distinct when looking back

Backpacking Photos
The pitch by the lake edge had been cleared of the fallen tree that was there on my previous visit – so I could again pitch in among the trees close to the water.
The weather today was bright and sunny which gave me a chance to air my down sleeping bag over my tent whilst I was having breakfast. My rucksack was not a light as it could have been this time, as I added the luxury of a small folding stool to the load.
