Good Food Week

Is Marion letting you go by yourself?   

She wouldn't be happy but she wouldn't stop me. As it is I have persuaded George out of fishing retirement to come too. He is a bit low just now as he was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last year and he thinks life is coming to an end. Seeing me at 70 with Arthritis doing the things I do and Marion with her Arthritis and can hardly get get about without a load of pain killers doing all she does between us we cajoled him into at least trying. We wont be far from the car this time and I am hoping, looking at the map, it is reasonably flat but I have offered to carry his gear in for him if needed, I can do it in two trips as it will be no more that three miles to where I have chosen from the map to camp.

Hope you have a brilliant trip. The lochs look very interesting and I hope the midges are kinder to you than they were for me on my last camping trip :shock:
I take sachets of instant porridge with me that just need hot water from my Kelly kettle to be ready to eat in 3 minutes.

I make up my own packets, well Marion does

Scotts Porridge Oats (40g), one desert spoon of Marvel, one desert spoon of milled nuts and salt to taste. all put into individual small freezer bags, squeezed tight to get the air out, twisted and tied and the excess bag cut off (saves space and weight ). Put into pot and just covered with boiling water, stir, back on cooker for a minute and eat from pot

I don't take a cooker with me just a micro Kelly kettle (and I have tried the attachment supposed to make them into a cooker and found it useless).
I have recently found these all-in-one meals and although a bit heavier than dried food they taste superb when sat on a rock by the loch side. No chilling or cooking needed.

Can't you catch your own dinners, I wouldn't rely on that myself the way I have been fishing, but I know some do .

George tried it one year. He caught the fish but still felt he hadn't eaten enough to satisfy his hunger

Weighed the rucksack....13.66Kilos. Still have the weight of the fishing stuff and the cameras to add on which should take the total weight carried up to 18 or 19Kilos.
